| Sumario: | Discriminatory impacts and the damages due to algorithmic systems have opened discussions regarding the scope of responsibility of communication technology and artificial intelligence companies. The article presents public controversies triggered by eight public cases of harm and algorithmic discrimination that generated public responses from technology companies, addressing the efforts made by them in framing the debate about responsibility in the course of planning, training and implementation of systems. Following that, it discusses how the opacity of systems is defended by the commercial companies that develop them, alleging prerogatives such as “industry secrets” and algorithmic inscrutability. |
