Good turnout today at the @CardozoLRev@twitter.com symposium on #automatingbias

I agree with @Hoopes_Fintech@twitter.com of @Upstart@twitter.com that fairness demands that lenders regularly seek to update and improve their models and that regulators, such as the @CFPB@twitter.com, should push lenders to do so.

Moderating panel 2, @PamelaFoohey@twitter.com of @CardozoLaw@twitter.com asks a question of “what is fairness?” that is generating a good set of answers about accuracy, financial inclusion, and potential trade-offs between the two. #AutomatingBias

Nizan Packin @NizanGP@twitter.com of @Baruch_Zicklin@twitter.com breaks out the Prezi presentation to discuss her work with @LevAretz@twitter.com on Decentralized Credit Scores (blockchain-based financial inclusion techniques). #DeFi #AutomatingBias @CardozoLRev@twitter.com

Nat is discussing this paper: https://www.hbs.edu/faculty/Pages/item.aspx?num=61316, which found that @Upstart@twitter.com lent much further down into the credit spectrum and offered better rates than these consumers often received from fringe lenders. @Hoopes_Fintech@twitter.com #AutomatingBias @CardozoLRev@twitter.com

Getting started now at the #AutomatingBias symposium @CardozoLRev@twitter.com is @Hoopes_Fintech@twitter.com of @Upstart@twitter.com talking about the #InvisiblePrimes paper reviewing Upstart’s ability to expand credit access.

So grateful to Nat for presenting the views of a market participant.

How does a consumer prove that they’re paying supracompetitive rates or have predatory terms when the market for consumer credit is already so fractured, such that different borrowers face relatively thicker and thinner markets? #AutomatingBias

David Carlson of @cardozolaw@twitter.com is running a wonderful Q&A session with @TaliaGillis@twitter.com of @ColumbiaLaw@twitter.com, @tjanger@twitter.com of @brooklynlaw@twitter.com, and @katwesq@twitter.com of @theSBPC@twitter.com at #AutomatingBias.

I have so many questions about the market for consumer credit and how ML algorithms will further fracture it

Forthcoming paper from @theSBPC@twitter.com will discuss the @Upstart@twitter.com monitorship, using it as a case study to peer under the hood of lending algorithms @NAACP_LDF@twitter.com @CardozoLRev@twitter.com #automatingbias @katwesq@twitter.com

Kat Welbach @katwesq@twitter.com of @theSBPC@twitter.com talking about credit invisibles, credit expansion, and risks of algorithmic credit underwriting at the @CardozoLRev@twitter.com symposium today in #AutomatingBias, which is being recorded.

Ted Janger (@tjanger@twitter.com) of @brooklynlaw@twitter.com talking about his new paper with @LiebBlock@twitter.com of @FordhamLaw@twitter.com on predatory discrimination (making money off of poor people and how it interacts with structural racism). #automatingbias
