From predicting who will be a repeat offender to who’s the best candidate for a job, computer algorithms are now making complex decisions in lieu of humans. But increasingly, many of these algorithms ...

Artificial intelligence has become a popular tool for job recruiters, in part because programmers can code applicant-screening algorithms to avoid any explicit discrimination in their decision-making ...

A new study shows that a widely used algorithm for predicting which patients get additional care is disproportionately counting out black patients—and could have left tens of thousands without ...

An algorithm commonly used by hospitals and other health systems to predict which patients are most likely to need follow-up care classified white patients overall as being more ill than black ...
