Recommendations for Lawyers

Mindset

How might legal code and computer code interact to yield products that are more ethical and less biased?

Today

Think about how you might communicate to computer scientists and engineers that "public data" should not necessarily be freely used for machine learning. What questions might they ask before they use data to ensure they account for biases or minimize them?

Longer-term

Think about how to define practices for data collection so that the data coders feed to algorithms is as unbiased as possible. And think about whether bias auditing makes sense. FairML is doing bias auditing on a small scale right now.
