The Red-Haired Woman, an alluring member of a travelling theatre company, catches his eye and seems as fascinated by him as he is by her. But in the nearby town, where they buy provisions and take their evening break, the boy will find an irresistible diversion. The pair will come to depend on each other and exchange stories reflecting disparate views of the world. As they struggle in the summer heat, excavating without luck meter by meter, the two will develop a filial bond neither has known before-not the poor middle-aged bachelor nor the middle-class boy whose father disappeared after being arrested for politically subversive activities. On the outskirts of a town thirty miles from Istanbul, a master well digger and his young apprentice are hired to find water on a barren plain. From the Nobel Prize winner and best-selling author of Snow and My Name Is Red, a fable of fathers and sons and the desires that come between them. ![]()

We propose Key Ethics Indicators (KEIs) as a way towards providing a more holistic understanding of whether or not an algorithm is aligned to the decision-maker’s ethical values.Īlgorithms are increasingly used to inform critical decisions across high-impact domains, from credit risk evaluation to hiring to criminal justice. In particular we highlight the debate around the acceptability of particular inequalities and the inextricable links between fairness, welfare and autonomy. In this paper, we derive lessons from ethical philosophy and welfare economics as they relate to the contextual factors relevant for fairness. ![]() Moreover, fairness metrics tend to be implemented within narrow and targeted fairness toolkits for algorithm assessments that are difficult to integrate into an algorithm’s broader ethical assessment. However, these reductionist representations of fairness often bear little resemblance to real-life fairness considerations, which in practice are highly contextual. Scholars have responded by introducing numerous mathematical definitions of fairness to test the algorithm, many of which are in conflict with one another. There is growing concern that decision-making informed by machine learning (ML) algorithms may unfairly discriminate based on personal demographic attributes, such as race and gender. ![]() ![]() ![]() Dr. Seuss-Theodor Geisel-deemed it his best book.
