Why and how did Amazon's hiring algorithm turn out to be discriminatory? And can you sue an algorithm if your sexiness score on Tinder is too low? But, more importantly: if society is unhappy with the results of Automated Decision Making (ADM)-decisions, should we change the algorithm or ourselves?In this episode, Vincent speaks with data scientist researcher Jose Alvarez about fairness in AI, and more specifically in Automated Decision Making (ADM) models.
