Cornell, Carnegie Researchers Aim to Hold Computers Accountable for Their Decisions - Joshua Bolkan, Campus Technology

A team of researchers led by professors at Cornell University will launch a project designed to ensure that automated decision-making systems respect privacy and come to their decisions fairly. "There's a lot of new technology being deployed in a variety of important settings, and we don't fully understand all the ramifications," said Thomas Ristenpart, associate professor of computer science at Cornell Tech and co-principal investigator for the project, in a prepared statement. https://campustechnology.com/articles/2017/09/18/cornell-carnegie-researchers-aim-to-hold-computers-accountable-for-their-decisions.aspx
