ABSTRACT
Fairness in machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) has gained much attention in recent years, which has led to the creation of multiple fairness metrics and frameworks. However, it is still challenging for practitioners to decide which fairness metrics to incorporate in their work and how to effectively incorporate fairness into ML and AI models and systems. ML and AI can benefit from computer-human interaction (CHI) expertise from our backgrounds in empirically grounded research. ML and AI black-box models that are creating biased results are in need of CHI expertise to add the human aspect to the evaluation and creation of AI systems. This will result in what I call Equitable AI systems. In my talk, I will describe an equitable AI system I created to create holistic diversity in higher education admissions, scholarships, hiring, etc. I will also discuss research from a CHI perspective in addressing bias in ML and AI.

Equitable AI: Using AI to Achieve Diversity in Admissions
IUI '21: Proceedings of the 26th International Conference on Intelligent User InterfacesIt has been nearly 20 years since the U.S. Supreme Court ruled on the use of race/ethnicity, gender, and national origin in university admissions in the University of Michigan cases. It is now 2021 and universities are still struggling with how to ...
A Transparency Index Framework for AI in Education
Artificial Intelligence in Education. Posters and Late Breaking Results, Workshops and Tutorials, Industry and Innovation Tracks, Practitioners’ and Doctoral ConsortiumAbstractNumerous AI ethics checklists and frameworks have been proposed focusing on different dimensions of ethical AI such as fairness, explainability, and safety. Yet, no such work has been done on developing transparent AI systems for real-world ...
