Host Iman Mossavat explores the complex intersection of algorithms and education policy with Mayesha Tasnim and Paul Verhagen of the Civic AI Lab at the University of Amsterdam. In cities like Amsterdam and Eindhoven, school placement is increasingly driven by algorithms. But how fair and transparent are these systems?
Together, they unpack how public algorithms shape student futures, revealing the trade-offs between fairness, efficiency, and transparency. From the role of lotteries in Amsterdam’s admissions to the challenges of "gaming the system," this episode dives into what it truly means to design equitable technology in public policy.
Listeners gain rare insight into how smarter algorithms can improve outcomes, while still risking unintended consequences.
