Imagine you are a parent whose child is applying to get into school. You'd want your child to have the best possible chance of being accepted at the school of your choice, right? Now, what if you knew that the decision of where to place your child was being made by artificial intelligence (AI). Would you trust an algorithm to have your child's best interests at heart? That's exactly the scenario parents in one of the major Dutch cities have encountered ever since the school system embraced AI to create a more equitable and evenly distributed student allocation system.
