After careful consideration, we have decided to cancel our March 18 Algorithmic Bias event.
We hope to reschedule this important conversation sometime next fall.

Featuring a keynote by Big Data Scientist and New York Times Bestselling Author
Cathy O’Neil
“Algorithms: for whom do they fail?”
Plus panels featuring:
- Shaun Barry, Global Leader for Government, Healthcare, and Utilities at SAS

This event will explore questions such as:
- What do we mean by “bias” in the context of algorithms?
- What are the sources of that bias?
- In what contexts does bias manifest, and what are the associated harms?
- What technological, institutional, and policy responses best address the various sources of bias?
