    24 | Cathy O'Neil, Algorithm Auditor, Author of WMathD Feb 28, 2023
    Show notes

    Our guest is Cathy O'Neil, author of Weapons of Math Destruction: how big data increases inequality and threatens democracy.
    Cathy joined us todiscuss critical aspects for auditors to consider, including:

    • The human element: why understanding 'for whom an algorithm might fail' is more important than the detailed technical design of an algorithm.
    • Algorithm testing: the importance of post-deployment testing to ensure there are no unintended adverse outcomes.
    • Setting standards: the need for industry-wide standards so that regulators can ensure there is no bias or discrimination in how algorithms operate.
    • Laggers and leaders: the four big industries/domains using algorithms that need to step up audit in their space and how law-makers and regulators are catching up.
    • Emerging AI, e.g. language models/chatbots - why trust by users is key, and the pros and cons of using these models.
