Join FAIR Points, GO FAIR US @danielvanstrien on June 26th to learn how @huggingface works to ensure machine learning models can be more easily found, used, and built on by others.

Excerpts from the article:
The majority of algorithms developed to enforce “algorithmic fairness” were built without #policy and societal contexts in mind.

Our motivation for pursuing fairness is to improve the situation of a historically disadvantaged group.

When we build AI systems to make decisions about people's lives, our design decisions encode implicit value judgments about what should be prioritized.

Technical solutions are often only a Band-aid to deal with a broken system. Improving access to #HealthCare, curating more diverse data sets, and developing tools that specifically target the problems faced by historically disadvantaged communities can help make substantive fairness a reality.

#AI systems make life-changing decisions. Choices about how they should be fair, and to whom, are too important to treat #fairness as a simple mathematical problem to be solved.

Good morning #Fediverse :fediverse:! Hope you've all had a great weekend. In this morning's #ConnectionList #Introduction #Connections post, in which I help to more richly connect us together, I'd like you to meet:

@ZoeGlatt is a #PhD candidate and #DigitalEthnography #researcher, and founder of @DigitalEthnographyCollective. They (not assuming pronouns) are submitting in March and are interested in jobs researching #SocialMedia culture, #CreativeLabour and #CreativeIndustries

@ndporter is into #SocialScience, #Data and #DataEquity and works with the #Carpentries. The #Carpentries is a volunteer-driven movement to provide #researchers with foundational computational skills in technologies like #Python 🐍, #Git ⌨️ and #HPC #programming 💻

@pip works in #design for #AI at #CSIRO #ProductManagement

@safiyanoble is the author of "Algorithms of Oppression", which if you haven't read it, should be on your reading list, especially if you're into #AIethics or #FairML. It sits in a similar space to @VirginiaEubanks "Automating Inequality" and shows how algorithms serve to reinforce existing structures of oppression, particularly of POC.

@fionatribe is a #CulturalAnthropology person who is interested in #MaterialCulture, #Architecture and #Anthropology

@metasecsol works as an #InfoSec researcher at the #W3 and as a #Lecturer in #InformationSecurity #DevSecOps

Good evening, #Mastodon!

Here's another #connectionlist #connection #introduction to help keep get everyone in the :fediverse: more deeply and richly connected.

@randomwalker is a researcher in #fairML #ML and his book (with others) on Fair Machine Learning is clear and concise: https://fairmlbook.org/

@aurynn is the #sysadmin of the Cloud Island instance and she works in #devops and #security. Kia ora! 🇳🇿

@cosmicpinot is the #ViceChancellor of ANU and a #Nobel Laureate for his work in #astronomy. Is also a #vintner, and may enjoy #dogsofmastodon 🇦🇺 by way of 🇺🇸

@alex is Director of #research at #DAIR, led by @timnitGebru 🇪🇬 ⚧ You can also see her scholarly work at:
https://scholar.google.com/citations?hl=en&user=PksNWIUAAAAJ

@drrimmer Matthew is a #Professor #academic of #IP and #innovation law at QUT in 🇦🇺 He is an expert on #copyright #law and #patents.

@mirandayaver is a #professor #academic in #polsci at Wheaton. They (not assuming pronouns) are interested in #health #policy 🇺🇸

@penguin_brian is a #dev and #devops person who loves #linux 🐧 They are into #Iot, #elixir and #rust

@lesleyhead is a #geographer #professor #academic at @unimelb@twitter.com and is President of @humanitiesAU@twitter.com. Interested in #environment and #climatechange 🇦🇺

That's all for now! Please share your own lists under the hashtag #connectionlist so we can all get better connected in the #Fediverse 😄 :fediverse:
