CATHY O’NEIL
Data Scientist, Journalist, and Award-Winning Author
speaking on
Weapons of Math Destruction: Big Data and You
Ms. O’Neil’s acclaimed book Weapons of Math Destruction: How Big Data increases inequality and Threatens Democracy explains how opaque, black-box algorithms rely on biased historical data to do everything from sentence defendants to hire workers. Algorithms profoundly impact every system we interact with, including college admissions, teacher evaluation, health care outcomes, and mortgage rates. Ms. O’Neil’s presentation will be very topical because she is concerned about accountability, transparency, and equity in our rapidly advancing use of data and AI.
