The Greek Chapter of the ACM-W (ACM’s Council on Women in Computing) is organizing the annual winter school “Fairness in AI”, 24-25 February 2022, online. Athena RC is a key contributor to the Greek chapter of ACM Women in Computing and Georgia Koutrika, Research Director at Athena RC and ACM senior member participates in the Organizing Committee of the Winter School.
The main goal of the school is to offer the opportunity to young computer science professionals to learn about timely topics from top scientists from around the world.
We live the revolution of AI. Enormous opportunities are ahead but come with dangers. AI-driven systems are increasingly being used in all aspects of society to assist, or even replace human decision making. Can we trust such systems? Every day, we use search, recommendations, personal assistants, the web, and social media to help us in all sorts of decisions from where to dine and what movie to watch, to more fundamental ones, such as our stance on political issues and worldwide events. AI is being widely used by public and private bodies to assist decisions in courts, in college admissions, and job recruitment. Issues of biased treatment, exclusion, and unfairness are raised, with concerns exaggerated by various cases catching the public attention.
Are these systems fair? Should we trust them? What should we do to ensure fair treatment?
Top-scientists from around the world will present their exciting work on the topic in a two-day online school organized by the Greek ACM-W chapter with the support of ACM Europe Research Visibility working group (ACM Europe RAISE).
The application proccess has been completed.
The event will be livestreamed at Greek ACM-W Chapter YouTube channel.
