The investigation showed that the algorithm, built for Rotterdam by the consultancy Accenture, discriminated on the basis of ethnicity and gender. And most impressively, it demonstrated in exacting detail how and why the algorithm behaved the way it did.

It’s Sisi again. The first time I heard of UNOS, it was on the steamy medical drama “Grey’s Anatomy.”
I don’t even remember if they explained what UNOS stood for when they first mentioned it (it’s the United Network for Organ Sharing), but it was clear from context clues that the extremely beautiful doctors in “Grey’s” needed UNOS to greenlight their patients’ organ transplants.
Younger me remembers a lot of doctors yelling, “Call UNOS!” and “Well, call them again!” But don’t hold me accountable for those lines showing up in the show. They’re just ingrained in my memory.
