Our UnBias showcase event!

October 26, 2018 Helena Webb Leave a comment

For two years the UnBias project has been examining the user experience of algorithm driven internet platforms and seeking answers to important questions such as:

  • Are algorithms ever neutral?
  • How might algorithmic systems produce unexpected outcomes that systematically disadvantage individuals, groups or communities? 
  • How can we make sure that algorithmic processes operate in our best interests?

On October 1st 2018 we held our UnBias project showcase event. Seventy attendees from the fields of research, policy, law, industry and education came together at the Digital Catapult in London to hear and discuss our key project findings. We also highlighted our practical outputs such as policy guidelines and our exciting fairness toolkit.

The event also included a lively panel debate and engaging presentations from external speakers about the social consequences of algorithmic biases and how they might be addressed. We ended the day by announcing  plans for our follow-on project, ReEnTrust, which will identify mechanisms to rebuild and enhance trust in algorithmic systems.

Watch an overview of the day here!
