How does technology impact opportunities for participation in public life?
Big data can help us make amazing predictions and contribute to evidence-based decisions, but it does so by setting complex rules and processesalgorithmsthat can also perpetuate existing bias, discrimination, and inequity. Algorithms can affect individuals ability to benefit from public services, alter their experience in the justice system, and even change their odds of finding a job. The NYU Politics Society, WagnerTech, and SCJR will host a panel on how the increasing use of data and algorithms in government and public and private organizations can create disparate impact, unintentionally discriminating against underrepresented groups.
Speakers will discuss how and why algorithms discriminate, examples of unintended consequences, and possible solutions.
