Human and Algorithmic Bias in AI | GAAN

Presented by Mr. Jarren Briscoe (Doctorate Fellow, Washington State University)
Human bias permeates our lives. Is this inherent to intelligence? How does bias evolve over time? After Mr. Briscoe discusses definitions and types of bias in humans and machines (algorithms), he will show how “fairness via awareness” is often the best option. It is rather counter-intuitive, but including sensitive features, such as sex, race, gender, and age, in machine learning algorithms often reduces bias. He relate this to the human fallacies of composition and division. We cannot blindly take each part and believe it is the same as the whole.

The seminar presentations are intended for a ‘science-based’ audience, including researchers, postdoctoral scientists, teachers, graduate students, undergraduate scientists, and science enthusiasts.

K-12 educators are also encouraged to attend the seminar series to learn about local career connections and research efforts that they can bring back to their students. Clock hours are available through the North Central Educational Service District for attending the series.
