Data, AI and Society - Just Machines
Channel: ANU TV
Date: 06/08/2020

In this public seminar, the fourth in the Data AI and Society series, Clinton Castro, an assistant professor in the Department of Philosophy at Florida International University will discuss his work 'Just Machines'.

Assistant Professor Castro will discuss how a number of recent findings in the field of machine learning have given rise to questions about what it means for automated scoring- or decision-making systems to be fair. 

One center of gravity in this discussion is whether such systems ought to satisfy classification parity (which requires parity in accuracy across groups defined by protected attributes) or calibration (which requires similar predictions to have similar meanings across groups defined by protected attributes).
