Beyond Fairness: Big Data, Racial Justice & Housing
Wednesday, April 27, 2022 | 9:00am – 4:30pm | E14, 6th floor
Beyond Fairness: Big Data, Racial Justice & Housing explores the intersection of data, algorithms and AI in relation to housing insecurity, home ownership and evictions. This includes engaging with the long history of racial injustice in the US and how it permeates all aspects of present-day data collection and data-driven systems such as credit scoring, tenant screening, and mortgage loan applications.
