>> Abstract
>> 
>> The study of algorithmic bias has become a burgeoning subfield of AI, machine learning, and theoretical computer science. Many people are now working to design algorithms that guarantee various kinds of statistical fairness. I want to take a 90-degree turn from this, and share some experiences of working on algorithms “on the ground,” including a study of a pretrial risk assessment algorithm in Bernalillo County where Albuquerque is located. By collaborating with legal scholars, court administrators, housing lawyers, and others, I’ve learned how they think about fairness in decision making: they are concerned not just with statistics, but with procedural issues—who has the burden of proof, and how data and algorithms can be explained, audited, and contested. I’ll also share some thoughts on what I think our responsibilities are as computer scientists to engage with these domains more deeply.

>> Cristopher Moore received his B.A. in Physics, Mathematics, and Integrated Science from Northwestern University, and his Ph.D. in Physics from Cornell. From 2000 to 2012 he was a professor at the University of New Mexico, with joint appointments in Computer Science and Physics. Since 2012, Moore has been a resident professor at the Santa Fe Institute. He has also held visiting positions at the Niels Bohr Institute, École Normale Superieure, École Polytechnique, Université Paris 7, Northeastern University, the University of Michigan, and Microsoft Research. He is an elected Fellow of the American Physical Society, the American Mathematical Society, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. With Stephan Mertens, he is the author of The Nature of Computation from Oxford University Press.
