CDAO Fall 2019

Dear WiBD Boston members
Sharing a unique promo code for the CDAO Fall summit in Boston happening between November 18-20 2019. We are media/community partners and are organizing a roundtable lunch session on `Identifying Bias in Algorithms and Data`, more details below. Please make sure to register specifically for the roundtable to be able to attend it.

2. Roundtable discussion topic : With AI and Machine Learning fast becoming a part of our everyday lives, there has been an increased focus to make sure these systems are fair and unbiased. In spite of multiple headline-grabbing accounts of how algorithms could have led to unintended biased outcomes, there is still a huge gap in understanding the theoretical and empirical sources of biases and how to address them effectively. This roundtable discussion will aim to shed some light on these gaps and jump start a conversation around origins, impact, ownership of biases. Senior executives and leaders will takeaway practical knowledge of identifying potential key sources of bias and a familiarity with existing market tools that might help them take informed decisions around their ethical data/algorithm policy. Technologists can expect to go away with a deeper understanding of fundamental theoretical limits to de-biasing algorithms and how to work within these constraints for an effective solution on the ground.
