SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Cathy O'Neil\, author of \"Weapons of Math Destruction\"
DESCRIPTION:As part of the Michigan Institute for Data Science annual symposium\, Cathy O'Neil\, author of NYT best-seller \"Weapons of Math Destruction\,\" will speak.\n\nAbstract: We live in the age of the algorithm. Increasingly\, the decisions that affect our lives—where we go to school\, whether we get a car loan\, how much we pay for health insurance—are being made not by humans\, but by mathematical models. In theory\, this should lead to greater fairness: Everyone is judged according to the same rules\, and bias is eliminated.\nBut as Cathy O’Neil reveals\, the opposite is true. The models being used today are opaque\, unregulated\, and uncontestable\, even when they’re wrong. Most troubling\, they reinforce discrimination: If a poor student can’t get a loan because a lending model deems him too risky (by virtue of his zip code)\, he’s then cut off from the kind of education that could pull him out of poverty\, and a vicious spiral ensues. Models are propping up the lucky and punishing the downtrodden\, creating a “toxic cocktail for democracy.” Welcome to the dark side of Big Data.\nTracing the arc of a person’s life\, O’Neil exposes the black box models that shape our future\, both as individuals and as a society. These “weapons of math destruction” score teachers and students\, sort résumés\, grant (or deny) loans\, evaluate workers\, target voters\, set parole\, and monitor our health.\nO’Neil calls on modelers to take more responsibility for their algorithms and on policy makers to regulate their use. But in the end\, it’s up to us to become more savvy about the models that govern our lives. This important book empowers us to ask the tough questions\, uncover the truth\, and demand change.

SUMMARY:Other:Recruiting New Members for Fall 2017!
DESCRIPTION:The LSA Honor Council is an undergraduate student organization dedicated to developing initiatives that aid in the promotion of respect\, integrity\, and personal responsibility. We also attend meetings hosted by the Office of Student Academic Affairs for students accused of academic misconduct.   In our recruitment efforts\, we prioritize the importance of forming a council composed of individuals with diverse backgrounds and viewpoints. This spectrum of varied perspectives enables our council to more effectively address issues of integrity on our campus. This upcoming year\, we are recruiting a group of motivated and dedicated LSA students who are interested in working closely with the deans\, faculty\, and fellow students to promote a campus culture that values integrity. This past year\, we have accomplished this goal by hosting faculty department presentations\, tabling events\, and discussions of current ethical issues. Most recently\, we hosted Dr. Victor Strecher from the School of Public Health to present a talk on “Designing a Happy Life.” Given the breadth of our activities\, it is crucial that we incorporate students with diverse skill sets to maximize our council’s potential. We hope that you will join us next fall! Link to application: http://lsastudenthc.weebly.com/become-a-member.html
