Historical Methods for AI Evaluations, Assessments, and Audits | Proceedings of the 2025 ACM Conference on Fairness, Accountability, and Transparency You will be notified whenever a record that you have chosen has been cited.

I love the idea of history informing AI audits – it's something @sandhaus.bsky.social @azjacobs.bsky.social @emoss.bsky.social @monasloane.bsky.social drew on for our work on motion capture & was so important for surfacing the assumptions encoded in modern-day tech!

#Recruiting is hotbed for #AI. But some forms of AI-driven automation clash with professional practices, increasing inefficiencies and the potential for new forms of bias. A lesson for AI and the 'future of #work'. My thoughts in @acm.org Communications: cacm.acm.org/opinion/bool...

This AI-powered “black box” could make surgery safer A new smart monitoring system could help doctors avoid mistakes—but it’s also alarming some surgeons and leading to sabotage.

Excellent reporting by Simar Bajaj on #AI in the operating theater. This is exactly the kind of nuanced reporting we need to figure out where and how AI can have positive impact. Note the idea that we "black boxed" the OR, surgeries used to be quasi-public. www.technologyreview.com/2024/06/07/1...

What are AI hallucinations? Why AIs sometimes make things up When AI systems try to bridge gaps in their training data, the results can be wildly off the mark: fabrications and non sequiturs researchers call hallucinations.

🚀 What is hallucination in AI systems? @annaseogyeongchoi.bsky.social and I recently explored this topic in depth, and our article has just been published in The Conversation! 🎉 theconversation.com/what-are-ai-...
