What is Proxy Discrimination?

Explore the concept of proxy discrimination in automated decision-making systems through this 15-minute ACM conference talk. Delve into elemental relationships, both first and second order, and examine quintessential proxy discrimination. Investigate how proxy discrimination can arise from proxy use as a causal descendant or influence, and understand the implications of capacity-induced use. Gain valuable insights into this critical aspect of algorithmic fairness and its impact on automated decision processes.
