Congratulations to Grace Tobin and colleagues for reporting so compellingly on this tragic epidemic, detailing the suffering & hurdles faced by people with eating disorders and their families as they try to get support & access to scarce programs. #eatingdisorders #medicalsystem #anorexia https://amp.abc.net.au/article/102012728

Always create a robust #PaperTrail, I guess. I assured them that I would be in contact again if I contract a communicable disease, and will be isolating at home in order to #ContactTrace as best as I can (to ascertain whether they got me sick, if it comes to that).

This was completely avoidable, and I hate to think how often it occurs across the #MedicalSystem on the daily here in the US, where apparently #COVID19 isn’t taken seriously by even those sworn to #DoNoHarm

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.
