Cathy O’Neil shares an example of a US #data collection survey to predict #recidivism risk & says people are “given a higher score because of their demographics”, calling “zip codes a proxy for race” & urging there’s a need for #algorithim #audits #DataSummit18
A theme emerging at #DataSummit18: ensure transparency & accountability & making sure mathematical models aren’t “encoded with human prejudice, misunderstanding and bias” as Cathy O’Neil puts it. As she’s written, doing that also can “punish the poor and fuel greater inequality”
