When we talk about the risks of technology and data, we often focus on “privacy” and “security.” Both are important, but what about fairness, transparency, and accountability? The game is changing, and if we don’t also change the terms of the debate, we could be designing a world in which biases are embedded in our technology, magnifying unfairness everywhere from education and employment to the criminal justice system. Technology & Liberty Director Shankar Narayan discusses these critical dynamics and how we can advocate for transparency, accountability, and fairness along the way.
