Cynthia Dwork - Group Fairness and Individual Fairness - IPAM at UCLA

Explore the concepts of group fairness and individual fairness in algorithmic decision-making through this lecture by Cynthia Dwork from Harvard University SEAS. Recorded at IPAM's Graduate Summer School on Algorithmic Fairness at UCLA, delve into the early literature on the theory of algorithmic fairness and examine the two main categories of fairness notions. Understand the requirements of group fairness, which focuses on similar statistics across demographic groups, and individual fairness, which emphasizes similar treatment for individuals who are alike in relation to scoring or classification tasks. Analyze the advantages and disadvantages of these fairness concepts and their implications for creating equitable algorithms. Gain valuable insights into the complexities of implementing fairness in algorithmic systems and the challenges faced in balancing different fairness criteria.
