For example, an algorithm called CB (color blind) imposes the restriction that any discriminating variables, such as race or gender, should not be used in predicting the outcomes.

Social media continues to be a powerful marketing tool for companies in the mortgage industry. Whether you are large or small, it’s incredibly important to have an established presence across all ...

Under the right circumstances, algorithms can be more transparent than human decision-making, and even can be used to develop a more equitable society.

How, then, can a single algorithm guide different robotic systems to make the best decisions to move through their surroundings?

In another example, a commonly used algorithm for predicting the success of vaginal birth after a prior cesarean (VBAC) delivery predicts lower success for Black and Hispanic mothers relative to ...

Though meant to make decisions around criminal justice, policing and public service easier, some are concerned algorithms designed by humans come with inherent bias and a need for oversight.

Artificial intelligence (AI) and algorithmic decision-making systems — algorithms that analyze massive amounts of data and make predictions about the future — are increasingly affecting Americans’ ...

Algorithms are increasingly being used to make ethical decisions. Perhaps the best example of this is a high-tech take on the ethical dilemma known as the trolley problem: if a self-driving car ...

Healio: Can you give examples of when the inclusion of race in an algorithm is beneficial? What makes it so?

Neural networks are demonstrating profound leaps in their abilities when they're tasked with open exploration instead of a narrowly focused goal.
