This is interesting, thanks for the links.
It seems like the dimensions of fairness and group classifications are often cribbed from the United States Protected Classes list in practice with a few culturally prescribed additions.
What can be done to ensure that 'fairness' is fair? That is, when we decide what groups/dimensions to consider, how do we determine if we are fair in doing so?
Is it even possible to determine the dimensions and groups themselves in a fair way? Does it devolve into an infinite regress?
- tomrod 3y agoBit of a tangent topic I think -- any specification of group classification and fairness will have the same issues presented. If we want to remove stereotypes, I reckon better data is required to piece out the attributes that can be causally inferred to be linked to poorer outcomes. As likely not even the Judeo-Christian version of God can logically be that omniscient, occasional stereotypes and effusively communal forgiveness of edge cases are about the best we'll ever arrive to in policy.
