Management AI: Bias, Criminal Recidivism, And The Promise Of Machine Learning

Criminal recidivism is when a released criminal goes back to crime. From charging crimes through probation, the criminal justice system is constantly looking for ways to better predict which criminals are more likely to remain legal on release and who is a risk of recidivism. Bias can create inaccuracies through weighing variables incorrectly, and machine learning might provide a way of limiting bias and improving recidivism predictions.
