As artificial intelligence decision making systems become more common, policymakers must decide whether, where and how to use them in high-stakes settings. Building on an interdisciplinary initiative supported by the MacArthur Foundation, Professors Karen Levy, Solon Barocas, and Jon Kleinberg will conduct a qualitative study that focuses on the design and implementation of automated decision-making systems in two real-world settings: kidney allocation and civil discovery, a pre-trial procedure whereby parties to a lawsuit can obtain evidence from another party.
