Kate Cox, Ars Technica; NYC wants a chief algorithm officer to counter bias, build transparency
"It takes a lot of automation to make the nation's largest city run, but
it's easy for that kind of automation to perpetuate existing problems
and fall unevenly on the residents it's supposed to serve. So to
mitigate the harms and ideally increase the benefits, New York City has
created a high-level city government position essentially to manage
algorithms."
