Transparency in Algorithms for Risk Assessment, Housing, and Pretrial Detention

Explore the critical topic of algorithmic transparency in risk assessment, housing, and pretrial detention systems in this thought-provoking lecture by Cris Moore from the Santa Fe Institute. Delve into the complexities and ethical considerations surrounding the use of algorithms in decision-making processes that significantly impact people's lives. Gain insights into the challenges of creating fair and transparent systems, and understand the potential consequences of opaque algorithmic models in these crucial areas. Examine real-world examples and case studies that highlight the importance of accountability and transparency in algorithmic decision-making. Discover the ongoing research and efforts to improve the fairness and interpretability of these systems, and consider the broader implications for society and policy-making.
