CPCP Privacy Symposium 2016: Proving that Programs Do Not Discriminate
Symposium Video
As the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) continues to advance, an increasing number of prediction are made by computer programs about humans. These predictions affect decisions made about humans in a wide variety for areas including decisions about: who should get the job, the bank loan, or early release from prison. As we increasingly rely on AI programs to help make decisions about peoples lives, it becomes vitally important that we are able to ensure the programs we are depending on do not have an unfairly biased against certain groups of people. Dr. Aws Albarghouthi of the University of Wisconsin - Madison Computer Sciences department uses his expertise in programming languages to address this issue of fairness.
