Which is fairer – human or machine?
In the new podcast episode, Hoda Heidari and Elliott Ash discuss how big data is changing the world and our perceptions.
“Everything I do on the computer or smartphone is public to a certain extent,” says computer scientist Hoda Heidari. In the new ETH Podcast, she and Elliott Ash, Professor for Law, Economics, and Data Science, talk about the huge digital footprint that we leave behind us on a daily basis. They also discuss how big data is changing the world and our perceptions, why governments are still lagging behind this transformation and how algorithms can learn and become fairer in the process.
