SUMMARY:CS Seminar Series: Michael Kearns and Aaron Roth\, University of Pennsylvania – “The Ethical Algorithm”
DESCRIPTION:Locationhttps://bit.ly/Kearns-Roth Password: 649769AbstractIn recent years\, there has been an explosion of reports of automated systems exhibiting undesirable behavior\, oftenmanifesting itself in terms of gross violations of social norms like privacy and fairness. This poses new challengesfor regulation and governance\, in part because these bad algorithmic behaviors are not the result of mal-intent onthe part of their designers\, but are instead the unanticipated side effects of applying the standard tools of machinelearning. The solution must therefore be in part algorithmic—we need to develop a scientific approach aiming toformalize the kinds of behaviors we want to avoid\, and design algorithms that avoid them. We will survey this area\,focusing in both the more mature area of private algorithm design\, as well as the more nascent area of algorithmicfairness. We will touch on other issues\, including how we can think about the larger societal effects of imposingconstraints on specific algorithmic parts of larger sociotechnical systems.BioDr. Michael Kearns is a professor in the Computer and Information Science department at the University of Pennsylvania\, where he holds theNational Center Chair and has joint appointments in the Wharton School. He is founder of Penn’s Networked and Social Systems Engineering(NETS) program\, and director of Penn’s Warren Center for Network and Data Sciences. His research interests include topics in machinelearning\, algorithmic game theory\, social networks\, and computational finance. He has worked and consulted extensively in the technologyand finance industries. He is a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences\, the Association for Computing Machinery\, and theAssociation for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence. Kearns has consulted widely in the finance and technology industries\, includinga current role as an Amazon Scholar. With Aaron Roth\, he is the co-author of the recent general-audience book “The Ethical Algorithm: TheScience of Socially Aware Algorithm Design” (Oxford University Press).Dr. Aaron Roth is a professor in the Computer and Information Science department at the University of Pennsylvania\, affiliated with theWarren Center for Network and Data Science\, and co-director of the Networked and Social Systems Engineering (NETS) program. He isalso an Amazon Scholar at Amazon AWS. He is the recipient of a Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE)awarded by President Obama in 2016\, an Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellowship\, an NSF CAREER award\, and research awards from Yahoo\,Amazon\, and Google. His research focuses on the algorithmic foundations of data privacy\, algorithmic fairness\, game theory and mechanismdesign\, learning theory\, and the intersections of these topics. Together with Cynthia Dwork\, he is the author of the book “The AlgorithmicFoundations of Differential Privacy.” Together with Michael Kearns\, he is the author of “The Ethical Algorithm.”HostsIAA and CSVideoWatch seminar video.
