Drexel Now; N.Y. Mayor Taps Drexel Professor For First Algorithm Quality-Control Task Force
"But how do we ensure that the algorithms are the impartial arbiters we expect them to be? Drexel University professor Julia Stoyanovich
is part of the first group in the nation helping to answer this
question in the biggest urban area in the world. New York Mayor Bill de
Blasio tapped Stoyanovich to serve on the city’s Automated Decision
Systems Task Force, a team charged with creating a process for reviewing
algorithms through the lens of fairness, equity and accountability...
The [Automated Decision Systems] Task Force is the product of New York City’s algorithmic
accountability law, which was passed in 2017 to ensure transparency in
how the city uses automated decision systems. By 2019, the group must
“provide recommendations about how agency automated decision systems
data may be shared with the public and how agencies may address
instances where people are harmed by agency automated decision systems,”
according to one of the provisions of the law."
