Listen "Voices in the Code"
Episode Synopsis
Automated decision-making systems or algorithms are playing an increasingly significant role in public administration and civil rights space. In his book "Voices in the Code: A Story About People, Their Values, and the Algorithm They Made," David Robinson investigates and contextualizes the story of the Kidney Allocation System, which as a result of cross-disciplinary collaboration among surgeons, clinicians, data scientists, public officials, advocates, and patients, over the course of 10 years, evolved into a relatively inclusive and accountable decision-making technology. Through this story, the author discusses the most fundamental issues related to the design and management of public-interest algorithms.
