There was this idea (I think I stumbled upon it on Bruce Schneier's blog)
where the algorithm used to judge your credit score was actually public, and
there was a way to dispute its outcome if you felt it was unfair in your case.
- basseq 10y agoInteresting from an academic perspective, but absolutely inaccessible to 99% of the population. If I don't get the outcome I want, I will dispute it (and people already do) because I think it's unfair. And maybe it is in your case. Are all algorithms designed to be "fair"? Should they be? Can they be, if everyone has an exception or a loophole? Or at some point do "disputes" go back to a human with the same biases that algorithms were intended to solve?
