Predictive algorithms may help us shop, discover new music or literature, but do they belong in the courthouse? Dartmouth professor Dr. Hany Farid reverse engineers the inherent dangers and potential biases of recommendations engines built to mete out justice in today’s criminal justice system. The co-founder and CTO of Fourandsix Technologies, an image authentication and forensics company, Hany Farid works to advance the field of digital forensics.
Hany said, “For the past decade I have been working on technology and policy that will find a balance between an open and free Internet while reining in online abuses. With approximately a billion Facebook uploads per day and 400 hours of video uploaded to YouTube every minute, this task is technically and logistically complicated but also, I believe, critical to the long-term health of our online communities.”
Hany is the Albert Bradley 1915 Third Century Professor and Chair of Computer Science at Dartmouth. He is also a Senior Adviser to the Counter Extremism Project. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at

This piece is highly useful. If the topic fascinates you, I recommend a related book. "Game Theory and the Pursuit of Algorithmic Fairness" by Jack Frostwell
One important factor you can include in not been given equal opportunity. Or financial instability due to false insecurities
What a blunt instrument for measuring alleged risk / predicted conduct
predictive algorithms?? With how increasingly oppressive the present day world has become, America, the "land of the free" being not far off at all, I'm praying, hoping like crazy, whatever, for armageddon. Anarchy is a far better situation than totalitarianism.
How they know the color of Their skin is by their names
👏👏👏👏 Masterclass in speech format!
Modesto police department has hired a private security firm to chaperoning me 24 hours per day. In Jail, i was put into a cell with a MS-13 GANG MEMBER.
I AM AN EX LEO. AND A VETERAN.
THEY MOVED ME BECAUSE THEY WANTED THIS MAN TO KILL ME AND HE COULD NOT. TO ANOTHER GANG MEMBER. HE ASKED ME TO TALK TO HIS GIRL AFTER I GOT OUT. HE Was setting me up.
I am harassed for over two years in Modesto Ca. Being targeted by the police. Being arrested with a felony fslsely for a violent crime. No evidence with a crime. Losing my home and all things inside. Disabled Vet. I believe i am on a list because i exercise my first amendment right to free speech.
This talk is a real gem 💎
Georges Orwell was ahead of his time when he wrote 1984 back in 1948… frightening.
I am there's for class
I thought it was cool. It would be even more so if someone were able to superimpose the detention teacher, from The Breakfast Club, as thespeaker.
That's exsctly the problem. It all comes down to who decides the authority and rules we live by.
Predictive algorithms can't account for how human beings change, for good or bad. It also can't understand intention.
This is about imprisonment not Rehabilitation if they cover every angle with the law that means everybody is always under government scrutiny especially the minority groups new boss same as old boss
Stop petty crime felonies. No victim, no crime!
“Therefore, COME OUT FROM THEIR MIDST AND BE SEPARATE,” says the Lord. “AND DO NOT TOUCH WHAT IS UNCLEAN; And I will welcome you. “And I will be a father to you, And you shall be sons and daughters to Me,” Says the Lord Almighty.
there is enough data to implement 2 simple solution2: 1) balanced sub-sampling and 2) walk-forward validation
ok fed
I bet insurance companies use algorithms like this to some extent.
How much did they get paid to do the survey?
Surprised that I'm the only one coming back to this just after Florida (of course) started employing this exact method in pre-policing and started harrassing random citizens
Is the simplification presented here legit?
This analysis is corrupt and misleading. Young and number of crimes is an absolutely race blind predictor. This presenter is bending over backwards, contorting, and doing everything possible to place some kind of fault on race when it simply doesn't matter. Poorly argued, poorly constructed studies. They were looking for a particular result and, wouldn't you know it, they managed to find it.
Im against using a.i. For crime, but im curious ,if you remove the pot bust what will you get? Im always going to say the guy with 15 arrest will commit a crime befire the guy who,s never been arrested, maybe he never got caught but still i,d have to go with it.
15x more for weed will definitely skew it, what if you removed the marijuana ?
10:30. If you're 70 yrs old and only have 1 arrest i,d say you are less likely to re offend than the 25 yr old with 9 arrest.
5:20. You know no such thing, you know if they GOT CAUGHT reoffending.
Is the race put into the data?
1:45. You said to make bail decisions,not whether youd be arrested again.
great vid
I’m sorry but this doesn’t make sense to me! With Neuroweaponry, the System can do far-out SyFy things like implant false memories, a precrime algorithm should be soooo easy to set right! 🤷♀️
Unless a profitable and awfully convenient model is only being …amplified 🙄 corrupt systems now go high tech huh?
Why wouldn’t they?? Gotta justify a broken System. Scaled up to the world!
THIS IS THE TYRANNY THAT PREVAILS WHEN ELECTED DO NOT FEAR THE SHEEPLES. THE CHERIF DAs MAYORS ARE PAID OFF BY THE OLIGARCHY TERRORIST. THEY MUST BE PLACED IN THE SPOTLIGHT & FIRED. THATS THE ONLY PREDICTIVE OUTCOME
ANY SYSTEM BEING PUSHED BY THE FED GOVERNMENT MEANS THE OLYGARCHY TERRORIST LOBBYISTS HAV PAID OFF THE DC BANDITS TO FORCE STATES TO BUY THEIR PRODUCTS THAT WILL CONTINUE TO ENSLAVE
Random people on the internet may know know the race but the judge will.
Yes and don't forget computers don't lie. Unless the technician or software engineer did. But when does that ever happen?
Yawnnnnn! All I know is that LaShawn stole my cellphone. Not Ashton! LaShawn didn't spend one night in jail.
I was out of a cellphone for a week, until I could pay for another one.
F LaShawn and you.

These are so boring
