HKS researchers—including @5harad, @Soroush_Saghaf, and @madisoncoots—created an analytical framework that informs the ongoing medical debate over whether to use race-unaware or race-aware risk assessments ken.sc/4gEAvig

NEW in Management Science! My coauthors and I came up with a new consequentialist approach to designing equitable algorithms. Instead of imposing fairness criteria on an algorithm (like equal false negative rates), we aim for good outcomes. More in the 🧵 below! (1/)

The use of race in clinical risk models is heavily debated. While race-aware models can be more accurate, some are concerned about reinforcing racialized views of medicine. In our paper in @AnnalsofIM, we offer a new perspective on this debate. 🧵👇 annals.org/aim/article/do…

Congratulations to our own @jgaeb1 and @5harad for winning Best Paper at #EAAMO2024!

🏆 Congratulations to @jgaeb1 and @5harad (@CompPolicyLab) for winning the Best Paper at #EAAMO2024! Their work introduces the Robust Outcome Test to improve fairness analysis in discrimination studies by combining benchmark and outcome tests under a new statistical guarantee.

Our co-director @LX_CW spoke with @Arnold_Ventures about the role AI can play in supporting fair charging decisions. Read more about our race-blind charging project, which aims to mitigate unintended biases in the justice system: zurl.co/PbW2

It was great chatting with @Arnold_Ventures about why this research effort is so important to me!

Data collected since 2018 under the Racial and Identity Profiling Act help measure disparities in California police traffic stops.@LX_CW contributed data to highlight these disparities for a story in the @sfchronicle: zurl.co/J7xX

Yesterday we posted an unusual story for us at the @sfchronicle that was actually about 400 stories. Here is a little thread about how it happened. sfchronicle.com/projects/2024/…
