From Estimation to Discrimination: Algorithmic Bias, Predictive Uncertainty, and Anti‐Discrimination Law

The Modern Law Review, EarlyView.
Machine learning (ML) systems, increasingly deployed in high‐stakes decision‐making, inherently produce uncertain outputs that can lead to unlawful discrimination. This article provides the first legal analysis of how predictive uncertainty in ML systems interacts with UK anti‐discrimination law under the Equality Act 2010.
