Sponsored Session: Fairness in Machine Learning: From Theory to Practice - Alex Karsten, GitLab

Machine learning has become integrated into our daily lives. No matter where we turn, there are apps, products, and features using machine learning to enhance the user experience. But as machine learning becomes more accessible, we must not forget to consider its potential unintended consequences. In this talk, Alex Karsten will explore the complex and multifaceted issue of fairness in machine learning. Alex will discuss various ideas and perspectives on how to ensure that machine learning models are fair and just, while also recognizing the challenges and limitations that exist. What does "fairness" mean in the context of machine learning? How can we measure fairness, and what metrics should we use? What are some potential sources of bias in machine learning, and how can we address them? What role can regulation and policy play in promoting fairness in machine learning?
