Senior Associate Justice Marvic Leonen points out that an audit of algorithms and biases of systems might be necessary.
MANILA, Philippines – During the continuation of the oral arguments against the no contact apprehension policy on Tuesday, January 24, Supreme Court Senior Associate Justice Marvic Leonen asked whether it will result in an unjust “transfer of wealth.”
“I don’t know what the figures now are for an investment of P50 million at most. And cost of how much? So this is a wealth transfer. A wealth transfer of a jeepney driver who has to meet a boundary, and therefore panics every day, and therefore waits until the traffic enforcer waives them,” Leonen said.
Leonen, during his interpellation, also noted that there are also other ways to prevent corruption using technology in the event the NCAP was declared unconstitutional. The senior associate justice said among the possible solutions could be turning the cameras from the motorists to the law enforcers.
“In the United States, the use of technology is now being challenged because it racially profiles. Based on crimes that are reported, when you passed on that data of earlier offenses being committed by those people of color, rather than those without color. And later on, what comes out of the black box is really that kind of bias,” Leonen said.
“Even technology can be biased. Even the algorithm can be biased. So what do we have now? So we have the camera seeing, instead of a police seeing, the violation. We have the computer researching on who it is, rather than a police reporting to the LTO and looking for it, correct?”
