More than 2,000 companies will be inspected by ZUS in terms of the contributions they pay – reports “Dziennik Gazeta Prawna”. For this purpose, the Social Insurance Institution will use artificial intelligence, which has already been used to control sick leaves, of which approximately 2 million are sent to this institution every month.
2.6 thousand companies to check
ZUS officials emphasize that the “system for detecting undue dismissals” was so effective that now the algorithms will also be used to “catch” irregularities regarding contribution payers. – The model based on artificial intelligence selected 2.6 thousand. entities to which our controllers will now go. Analysts are still monitoring the results of the algorithms’ work. I would not dare to say that where our controller goes, there are definitely irregularities. But in places selected by our systems, the risk is certainly higher – said Jaroszek. However, he adds that “the final decision on possible penalties or further steps will be made by people.” After the inspections, ZUS will receive feedback, which will then be used for “further algorithm training”. – Using the data we have, we isolate risk elements and assign them weights. This is how we calibrate our algorithms – explains Paweł Jaroszek, vice-president of ZUS.
“Dziennik Gazeta Prawna” recalls the results of research conducted by GfK for the Digital Poland foundation. They show, among other things, that human supervision over AI is one of the main factors “building trust in this technology.” Because as much as 40 percent respondents believed that it should be subject to human control.
Jobs at risk?
The OECD calculates that up to 27 percent jobs in developed countries are at risk from the artificial intelligence revolution. Replacement by AI may hit workers in several sectors particularly hard. “The organization notes that the positions most at risk of being taken over by AI are those requiring low or medium qualifications, primarily those in construction, agriculture, fishing and forestry, and to a lesser extent also in production and transport. However, this does not mean that highly qualified workers can sleep peacefully. These positions are at a lower (but not zero) risk of automation,” wrote Bartłomiej Pawlak – .
