Algorithms derived from big data are increasingly being used to inform resource allocation decisions across the public sector. But can we ensure that machine-generated decisions are fair towards different population groups? If not, then their use might widen social inequalities or breach equality laws. In this half-day workshop, funded by 果冻影院 Grand Challenges, we will be exploring the technical, ethical and legal issues around the use of predictive algorithms in resource allocation.听

This wide-ranging and multidisciplinary event will bring together interested parties from within and beyond 果冻影院. The format will include invited talks and group discussion, appropriate for academics, policy makers and doctoral students.听
