Ethics & Politics of Emerging Technologies
Description
In this stream of research, my collaborators and I investigate the ethical, political, and social implications of computational technologies.
In this work, I often collaborate with academic colleagues in computer science by helping to design studies investigating psychological perceptions of artificial intelligence. In one paper, we investigate public attitudes toward algorithmic definitions of fairness (forthcoming in the Proceedings of the AAAI/ACM Conference on Artificial Intelligence, Ethics, and Society). Another project documents a discrepancy in how policy-makers and machine learning practitioners conceptualize artificial intelligence, and provides suggestions for developing an effective policy-facing definition.
