SUMMARY:Ethics for the working mathematician\, Seminar 4: Fairness and imp
 artiality in algorithms and AI - Maurice Chiodo (University of Cambridge)

DESCRIPTION:      Algorithms run the world\, and mathematicians are design
 ing them.\n      Algorithms decide what people read\, what they buy\, and 
 when then can get a\n      loan. We often design these systems to remove h
 uman subjectivity from\n      decision making processes and to make them i
 mpartial\, as is being done\n      with predictive policing algorithms and
  prison sentencing algorithms. But\n      how impartial\, or fair\, can a 
 system designed by humans ever be? Moreover\,\n      the internet and big 
 data have given rise to massive new potential\, from\n      targeted polit
 ical advertising as done by Cambridge Analytica\, to AI\n      technology 
 such as deepfake videos and self-driving cars. Our 'solutions'\n      in t
 hese instances can bring about a whole new set of problems.\n
