Algorithmic Fairness
Algorithmic fairness is a subfield of computer science that studies the fairness and bias of algorithms. Algorithms are used in a wide variety of applications, from social media feeds to loan applications to criminal justice systems. Algorithmic fairness researchers work to develop algorithms that are fair and unbiased, and to identify and mitigate the biases that can arise in algorithms.
