Karrie Karahalios - From Algorithm Awareness to Algorithm Contestability

University of Chicago Computer Science

Join us for an exciting lecture with Karrie Karahalios, Professor at the Siebel Center for Computer Science at the University of Illinois.

Monday, October 26, 2020 3:00pm CDT (public livestream and Zoom for registered attendees)Karrie Karahalios, University of Illinois: From Algorithm Awareness to Algorithm ContestabilityAbstract. Algorithms play a large role by shaping what we see and don’t see online. In this talk I discuss people’s awareness of algorithms in they daily online social life, the power people attribute to algorithms, and how and when people become disillusioned by them. I further discuss approaches to address control and whether people want control, and move to people’s perceptions of contestable systems.Bio.
