Advisor: Fred Morstatter (Viterbi School of Engineering)
Students: Chaitali Joshi , Param Bole , Muhammad Oneeb Ul Haq Khan , Madeleine Thompson , Aparna Nair

Description

With the recent enthusiasm about algorithmic fairness and responsible AI, many conferences are encouraging or requiring a broader impact section to assess societal harms and benefits of the AI research being presented. In this project, we will analyze the themes of these sections, with a particular focus on the ethical issues being addressed and acknowledged. We will develop tools and methods to evaluate the harms and benefits of the presented research. The goal is to see how is the community helping AI research to be less harmful but more beneficial for society. For more background on work in this area, please review this workshop.
