Interrogating Algorithms 9
Algorithms shape many aspects of our society, some minor, and some critical. Credit ratings, employability screening, criminal sentencing, are all influenced by algorithms. It's important to question the assumptions behind those algorithms. Cathy O’Neil, Meredith Broussard, and Solon Barocas led a discussion about the importance of questioning the algorithms that influence so much of our reality. The event was the first in a series sponsored by DataKind, Microsoft Tech and Civic Engagement, and hosted by Civic Hall. Visual notes created by Jonny Goldstein using an iPad and the Paper app.
