Invited Session
Challenges towards Fairness and Transparency for Data Processes, Algorithms and Decision-Support Models
Organizer/Chair: Claudia Tarantola (Università di Pavia)
Discussant: Gloria Polinesi (Università Politecnica delle Marche)
Room: T30
Floor: ground
Short summary: In this session, we will explore various aspects of the ethics of data science. Nowadays, many decisions are made by taking predictive models based on observed data as suggestions. Despite being created through a fair and well-intentioned learning process, these models can still unintentionally discriminate against certain groups of people, leading to unfair outcomes. Algorithmic bias is a pressing problem in this regard, as machine learning models can perpetuate existing discrimination by taking into account factors such as race, gender, or age. In addition, the use of sensitive data to train and validate these models raises issues of privacy and data security.
