Elisa Celis and the fight for fairness in artificial intelligence
We have actual people being affected by these algorithms. We see things in the news such as algorithms that predict recidivism -- whether someone will re-commit a particular crime -- and set a bail amount or pass that information on to a judge who decides whether or not to set bail. The algorithms used to make these predictions end up relying on correlations with socioeconomic status, or race, or gender. So someone who might have a very similar background to you but differs across race or gender might have a very different outcome because of what the algorithm predicts. Do you think people are generally aware of the degree to which these algorithms are already part of everyday life?
