It basically represents my transition from thinking that algorithms were basically fair and fine, to thinking they’re biased because people are biased and so bias is baked in eg through bad data, to realising the are a very wide variety of ways that algorithms can unintentionally discriminate.
They’re not a particularly EA-related pair of papers, but they are very interesting.
Can you expand on how this influenced you?
