Transparency & explainability in AI aren’t enough. We make the case for responsiveness as the key to accountability in high-stakes AI systems. Joint work with Gijs van Maanen

🚨New paper 🚨 Sure—algorithms are far from objective. But what if the real issue is how they represent? 🤔 This was a question @maanengijsvan and I kept returning to during countless discussions. These conversations evolved into a manuscript: tandfonline.com/doi/metrics/10… 🧵

📢 Are you working on a (qualitative) case study of an algorithm used in government? We would love to hear from you at our #EASST4S2024 panel. Remember to submit by 12 February 2024!🗓️16-19 July in Amsterdam.

So @mickjagger famously asked MC Escher to design the cover artwork for @RollingStones' Let it Bleed album. Escher declined and Robert Brownjohn designed the cover instead. But what if Escher had said yes? Let's find out by asking #openai's #dalle2 text-to-image model:

Ook aan data scientists is een enorm tekort, maar ze worden ook lang niet altijd goed ingezet. Dus hoe haal je als werkgever waarde uit de data scientists die je wel kunt vinden? AG Connect vroeg het onderzoeker @dakolkman van @jadatascience. #datascience agconnect.nl/artikel/zo-haa…

New Dutch government agreement stipulates the instatement of an algortihm watchdog. This watchdog is to uphold new (to be developed) regulation pertaining transparency, discrimination, and bias of algorithms. Promising first step towards more algorithmic accountability. (1/2)

The digital society is not merely a conceptual challenge for humanities & social sciences. We are looking for contributions that address algorithmization & datafication in empirical & socially engaged ways & which provide opportunities for intervention: dataschool.nl/en/news/oa-boo…

A precedent for: Machine learning engineer arrested for training algorithm to throw ridiculous recidivism odds / unfair grades / fraud risk assessments / etc?

@j2bryson @lilianedwards @cpmarkou @AllisonCGardner @mikarv No apologies necessary, don’t mind to disagree with you on this. I’m quite sure programmers/data scientists distinguish between good and bad code/algorithms, independently of the impact of such ‘objects’.

I was simultaneously appalled, confused, and intrigued by the A-level grading algorithm fiasco so I decided to do a write-up of the situation. Might be helpful for those also unfamiliar with the UK education and university admissions system: daankolkman.com/uncategorized/…

@BenPatrickWill Incidentially, the UK Review of quality assurance of Government analytical models AND the UK guidance on producing quality analysis both prescribe external audits in cases of “high bussiness risk”. So I wonder if anyone has come acros evidence of such external review/audit?
