Risk Roundup Webcast: Human-Centric Algorithmic Design For Data Analytics

Human-Centric Algorithmic Design for Data Analytics

The digital

age has brought enormous growth of digital data from everyone and everywhere. While
this brings each nation and its components a newfound ability to design necessary
products & experiences for this new digital age, there is a need to find a new
sense of human-centric focus and balance.

The reason is that algorithms are incorporated into systems for increasingly diverse purposes and permeate numerous facets of the daily life of everyone, individuals, and entities across nations: its government, industries, organizations, and academia.

Since

the people who define the systems, design the systems and build them and users
who use them come from different backgrounds and skillsets, understandably, these
systems’ results are often interpreted differently by the designers who created
them than by the users who interact with them. 

Since

algorithms are designed to perform, it is crucial to understand and evaluate:

  • What
are the common reasons why many of the data analytics projects fail?
  • What
  • are the different ways algorithm design could become more human-centered?
  • What
  • are the strengths and challenges of the human-centric approach?
  • Who
  • and what drives the process of an algorithm?
  • What
  • criteria are used to define, design, develop, and deploy the algorithm?
  • What
  • metrics are used to measure the performance of algorithms?

    While an algorithm’s designers do not necessarily want others to understand how they design the algorithm, what is the data input, where the data comes from, what code controls the performance, and how the algorithm design will work, it is essential to reach a consensus on what it means for its output and outcome. The time is now to evaluate the need for human-centric algorithmic design for data analytics.
