Building Algorithms That Build Themselves

This week, we ask why we expect algorithms to be fair at all. Dr. Suresh Venkatasubramanian explains how machine learning systems shape our lives—and why understanding them is key to accountability.

I'm here and not on the other place. I'm a mathematics teacher who focuses on using math to uncover power relationships in our country and world. I teach high schoolers but my opinions on here are my own and do not reflect my employer. I will share interesting insights that are accessible to people who still remember how to do algebra whenever possible.

Great bill proposed by Senator Ed Markey around regulating AI to ensure algorithmic justice for vulnerable communities. The requirements outlined seem like they should be the bare minimum.

Testimony opposing Washington HB 1951, weak algorithmic discrimination legislation

privacy.thenexus.today/opposin

Washington's short legislative session is in high gear, Unfortunately, despite HB 1951's good intent of dealing wth algorithmic description, it looks like it was written by tech lobbyists. Here's my written testimony.

An excerpt:

"My position on HB 1951 is CON. While the goal of providing protections against algorithmic discrimination is vital, the bill as drafted does not actually provide meaningful protections to Washingtonians. Other witnesses at the hearing discussed several of the key problems with the bill including the lack of requirements for transparency (aka notice) or opt-out, the narrowness of the definition of "automated decision tool" (Sec. 1(3)), and the lack of a private right of action.
Coming at it from the technical perspective, I'd also like to highlight the weakness of the impact assessment requirements in Section 3."

Despite their claims to the contrary, YouTube does not uniformly allow blocking channels or getting videos out of the recommender. For instance, the Roku interface to YouTube does not allow channel blocking at all, and down votes don't stop videos appearing. So the claim they allow that control is not fully true.

And don't get me started on their hate-filled recommendations.

#facialrecognition technology is highly controversial. Not only has the tech been shown to be biased against women and people of color, it is also being used for suspect purposes. The USA must pass national legislation and rules to regulate these systems which can lead to eviction, arrest, homelessness, job loss, expulsion from public venues, and other harms.

@moliver I find the real difference for me is that I get a variety of people boosting and commenting whereas previously it felt like always the same 25 people out of 2.5k followers who interacted. #algorithmicjustice

Introduction time… I’m an #interspiritual minister: an old-school, #nondualist mystic who loves to read and meet people from all the wisdom traditions. I love #anthropology, and #philosophyofscience. PlayGrounding is a podcast and app I built to encourage people to keep seeking #mentalhealth care even when the systems in place let us down. My work is informed by #humanetech principles and I’m interested in #algorithmicjustice. I’m also a #musician, #speaker, and a sucker for any living thing.

Hi, all! I’m a activist, organizer, strategist, entrepreneur, and software engineer.

Some of the activism projects I'm currently involved with include #disinfo fighting, #voting rights, federal and state #privacy and #algorithmicjustice legislation, and supporting the #StopShotSpotter and SolidarityBudget campaigns in Seattle.

Folks here might know also me from #Indivisible (where I help lead Indivisible Plus Washington) Get #FISA Right, Pam's House Blend, the Voting Rights Wiki, and OpenLeft.

Professionally I focus on the intersection of justice, equity, and software engineering. I also run the Nexus of Privacy newsletter -- thenexusofprivacy.net and @nexusofprivacy

I've been on Mastodon since 2017 and am also at @jdp23@indieweb.social @jdp23@oulipo.social and elsewhere.

Some of my other interests include intersectionality, psytrance and darkwave music, and tarot. More about me at achangeiscoming.net/about
