In particular, policymakers, regulators, and advocates have expressed fears about the potentially discriminatory impact of machine learning, with many calling for further technical research into the dangers of inadvertently encoding bias into automated decisions.</p> <p>At the same time, there is increasing alarm that the complexity of machine learning may reduce the justification for consequential decisions to “the algorithm made me do it.”</p> <p>The annual event provides researchers with a venue to explore how to characterize and address these issues with computationally rigorous methods.</p> </div> </html>
