Stefano Calboli (CEPS), “AI Nudging and Autonomy: Delineating the issue and embracing the bright side”

Resumo: In this presentation, I consider the use of AI in the practice of nudging and discuss its impact on the decision autonomy of nudges. In the first part of the presentation, I examine the arguments that suggest AI-driven nudges are more concerning for decision autonomy than traditional nudges, here understood as nudges devoid of AI. In the second part, I identify the cases that are actually problematic for decision autonomy, emphasizing that the increase in effectiveness due to the hyper-personalization characteristic of AI-driven nudges does not necessarily imply an increase in problematic cases from the standpoint of decision autonomy. In the third and final part of the presentation, I argue that even admitting that AI-driven nudges increase the number of cases where decision autonomy is at risk, the potential of AI can also be used to improve the quality of ethical safeguards required in nudging. First, I argue that AI can be used to better identify cases that are actually problematic for decision autonomy compared to methods that do not utilize AI, allowing for a more precise understanding of the decision-makers’ preferences and wills. I conclude by arguing that AI furthermore enables us to optimize accuracy in identifying the specific cases on which the impact on the nudgee’s decision autonomy is assessed. The pressure exerted by the nudge is not indifferent to certain elements of the decisional environment in which the nudge is embedded. AI systems can assist us in the difficult task of grouping similar cases in terms of the nudge embedded in a certain decision-making environment (rather than considering only the nudge), computing the pressure exerted, and acting promptly accordingly to safeguard decision autonomy.
