Bias in der künstlichen Intelligenz

Jonas Ditz, Elmar Lichtmeß

Bonn: Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik (2025), 34 pp.

"Bias ist eine tiefgreifende Problematik für Systeme der Künstlichen Intelligenz, die eine Gefährdung für den sicheren Einsatz von solchen Systemen darstellen kann. Der richtige Umgang mit Bias ist komplex und erfordert eine umfassende Beschäftigung mit der Thematik. Diese Publikation soll Entw ... ickelnden, Anbietenden und Betreibenden von KI-Systemen eine erste Einführung in die Bias-Thematik geben. Bias-Arten weisen eine hohe Diversität auf und können in unterschiedlichen Phasen des Lebenszyklus eines KI-Systems auftreten. Eine Auswahl der relevantesten Bias-Arten sowie eine Zuordnung zur Phase des Lebenszyklus, in der diese auftreten, wird dargestellt. Die Detektion von Bias ist sowohl in Daten als auch in bereits trainierten KI-Modellen möglich. Eine Auswahl an qualitativen und quantitativen Detektionsmöglichkeiten wird präsentiert. Anschließend gibt das Manuskript eine Übersicht über Methoden, die verwendet werden können, um Bias in einem KI-System zu verhindern. Diese sind aufgeteilt in Prä-, In- und Postprozessierungsmethoden, abhängig von dem jeweiligen Zeitpunkt, zu dem sie angewendet werden können. Zum Abschluss wird die Interaktion zwischen Bias und Cybersicherheit diskutiert. Das BSI fordert von Entwickelnden, Anbietenden und Betreibenden von KI-Systemen folgende Handlungen: • Wissen hilft bei der Lösung des Problems. Es muss ein ausreichender Informationsaufbau zur Bias-Thematik stattfinden, um entscheiden zu können, welche Arten für die eigene Anwendung relevant sind. (Kapitel 2) • Zuständigkeiten müssen geklärt sein. Für verwendete Datensätze und KI-Systeme muss eine für Bias zuständige Person benannt werden. Diese Person muss in der Lage sein, potentielle Bias zu identifizieren und geeignete Gegenmaßnahmen vorzuschlagen. • Bekämpfung von Bias beginnt bei den Daten. Nach Möglichkeit müssen organisatorische und technische Maßnahmen bei der Datenerhebung etabliert werden, die potentiellen Bias in den Daten reduzieren. (Kapitel 3) • Ziel muss die Minimierung von unerwünschten Bias in KI-Modellen sein. Prä- und Inprozessierungsmaßnahmen müssen – falls anwendbar – vorrangig verwendet werden. Vor der Anwendung von vortrainierten KI-Modellen (beispielsweise KI-Systeme mit allgemeinem Verwendungszweck) muss die Notwendigkeit für Postprozessierungsmaßnahmen geprüft werden (Kapitel 4) • Bei Bias heißt es am Ball bleiben. Bias-Detektion und -Mitigation muss als Prozess verstanden werden und fester Bestandteil jeder Phase des Produktzyklus eines KI-Modells sein." (Zusammenfassung, Seite 3) more

Digital Shadows: Deepfakes Used As Violence Against Women in Journalism and Politics During African Elections

Risper Akinyi, Josephine Miliza, Mwara Gichanga, Sarah Kiden et al.

Kibera: Tanda Community Network (2025), 77 pp.

"This report delves into the growing threat of deepfakes as a tool for technology-facilitated gender-based violence (TfGBV) against women in politics and journalism during elections across Africa. With increasing reliance on digital tools and artificial intelligence (AI), deepfakes pose a serious ri ... sk to democratic processes and the personal security of women in leadership roles. The report investigated how deepfakes and other forms of manipulated media contribute to TfGBV against women journalists and politicians in the context of elections in Ghana, Namibia, and Senegal. Both interviews and focus group discussions elicited responses from policymakers, journalists, technologists, and researchers. Deepfakes, which use AI to manipulate videos, audio, and images, are being weaponized to tarnish reputations, spread falsehoods, and harass women, often in the most public and vulnerable moments of their careers. Women in politics and journalism are particularly susceptible, as their visibility makes them prime targets for digital harassment and character assassination. This misuse of AI-generated content not only impacts their personal and professional lives but also threatens to silence women’s voices in public discourse, deterring other women from engaging in leadership roles. The report emphasizes the urgent need for comprehensive measures to address this issue. Key recommendations include: the enactment of specific deepfake legislation; public awareness campaigns to educate women in leadership about online safety and investment in AI detection technologies; strengthening support systems for victims of TfGBV and promoting responsible AI use are also critical to creating a safer, more inclusive digital environment for women; Collaborative efforts with international organizations and the expansion of media and digital literacy programs are suggested to bolster the nation's resilience against this evolving threat. By addressing the challenges posed by deepfakes and TfGBV, Ghana, Namibia, and Senegal can safeguard its democratic processes and promote gender equality in the political and media landscapes. The report calls for immediate action to protect women in leadership, ensuring that they can participate fully and fearlessly in the country's democratic development." (Executive summary) more

AI in Africa: A Landscape Study

Rachel Adams, Fola Adeleke, Leah Junck, Samule Segun, Ayantola Alayande, Selamawit Abdella, Mark Gaffley, Fabio Andres Diaz Pabon, Funbi Salami

Global Center on AI Governance; African Observatory on Responsible AI (2025), 44 pp.

"Though comprehensive AI regulation is still nascent in Africa, there is an increased focus on national AI strategies, ethical guidelines and international collaborations. Over 40 countries have already established data protection and privacy laws, creating opportunities for harmonised regulations a ... nd a supportive environment for AI innovation. Key continental governance instruments and initiatives also include the African Union’s AI Strategy, the African Continental Free Trade Area and the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights. This report found that the increasing application of AI in key sectors across Africa, such as health, education, finance, agriculture, public services and the environment, necessitates a collaborative approach to ethical AI development and use. This requires addressing persistent infrastructural gaps, developing regional regulatory frameworks, investments in AI research and capacity building efforts as well as promoting multi-stakeholder AI governance initiatives. Key strategies identified include joint investment and funding, pooling resources and supporting sustainable and fair open-source projects, which will help direct efforts toward innovation and regional independence. Open Source AI models are particularly important in Africa where local tech startups can leverage global open-source initiatives to build context-specific solutions. However, concerns regarding data ownership, privacy and ethical AI deployment call for more robust policies for open source AI on the continent. To foster responsible AI innovation, African countries should establish comprehensive AI governance frameworks while adhering to existing laws as well as strengthen regulatory institutions to provide oversight over AI technologies. Regulatory sandboxing also offers a viable approach to enable sage experimentation with appropriate oversight. Regional and international cooperation as well as leveraging public-private partnerships can promote funding for expanding AI research and development initiatives, resolve talent shortages and promote infrastructure development. Africa has a unique opportunity to leverage AI, along with its resources and local young talent, for socioeconomic development. However, to ensure inclusivity and sustainable innovation, it is essential to address infrastructure challenges and establish regulatory frameworks that protect societal wellbeing. Embracing collaborative efforts, including open source initiatives, regional and international partnerships are critical for achieving the continent’s ambitious goals without leaving anyone behind."
