Demographic-Reliant Algorithmic Fairness: Characterizing the Risks of Demographic Data Collection in the Pursuit of Fairness

no code implementations18 Apr 2022 McKane Andrus, Sarah Villeneuve

Most proposed algorithmic fairness techniques require access to data on a "sensitive attribute" or "protected category" (such as race, ethnicity, gender, or sexuality) in order to make performance comparisons and standardizations across groups, however this data is largely unavailable in practice, hindering the widespread adoption of algorithmic fairness.

AI Development for the Public Interest: From Abstraction Traps to Sociotechnical Risks

no code implementations4 Feb 2021 McKane Andrus, Sarah Dean, Thomas Krendl Gilbert, Nathan Lambert, Tom Zick

Despite interest in communicating ethical problems and social contexts within the undergraduate curriculum to advance Public Interest Technology (PIT) goals, interventions at the graduate level remain largely unexplored.
