Perspectives on Promoting Algorithmic Justice in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Education in K–12

Fri, April 12, 9:35 to 11:05am, Pennsylvania Convention Center, Floor: Level 100, Room 115B

Session Type: Structured Poster Session

Abstract

Despite the increasing interest in justice and fairness in computing, in education little attention has been paid to learning algorithmic justice. Today we recognize that algorithmic systems are not neutral, they reflect the values of their creators, and are not the solution to all problems—often causing or perpetuating existing problems. In this session, we offer diverse perspectives on the state of algorithmic justice in learning research, from how youth understand issues of justice in artificial intelligence/machine learning (AIML) systems they use in their everyday lives, to how they consider algorithmic justice when making applications. Researching and fostering understanding of issues of algorithmic justice is increasingly important to prepare youth to participate in a world where AIML is ubiquitous.
