![]() ![]() Michael Kearns and Aaron Roth explain how we can better embed human principles into machine code-without halting the advance of data-driven scientific exploration. ![]() ![]() Reporting from the cutting edge of scientific research, The Ethical Algorithm offers a new approach: a set of principled solutions based on the emerging and exciting science of socially aware algorithm design. Traditional fixes, such as laws, regulations, and watchdog groups, have proven woefully inadequate. SUMMARY OF THE BOOK ‘The Ethical Algorithm: The Science of Socially Aware Algorithm Design’ is a book written by Professor Michael Kearns and Professor Aaron Roth.It is an excellent book for anyone who is interested in learning about social issues intentionally and unintentionally caused by AI and robots, particularly privacy and fairness. Understanding and improving the science behind the algorithms that run our lives is rapidly becoming one of the most pressing issues of this century. Meanwhile, users manipulate algorithms to game search engines, spam filters, online reviewing services, and navigation apps. Allegedly anonymized datasets routinely leak our most sensitive personal information statistical models for everything from mortgages to college admissions reflect racial and gender bias. At the same time, complex algorithms are increasingly violating the basic rights of individual citizens. Algorithms have made our lives more efficient, more entertaining, and, sometimes, better informed. ![]() Over the course of a generation, algorithms have gone from mathematical abstractions to powerful mediators of daily life. ![]()
