Ali Alkhatib
Description: A researcher at the University of San Francisco, Ali studies human-machine interaction - more specifically, he studies how people relate to algorithmic systems and algorithmic-mediated social ecologies taking a social science perspective. to better understand these phenomena. He denounces in particular the absurd results of certain algorithms which tend to be generalized. Ali holds ethics discussions with members of the artificial intelligence community. -
Zeynep Tufekci
Description: Zeynep Tufekci is an American-Turkish sociologist specializing in information and communication technologies. She is a professor at the University of North Carolina. She is known for her work on the social impact of social networks. Zeynep maintains newsletters that are very popular with his community, which is a fan of his always very detailed analyzes. -
Moritz Hardt

Hardt studies algorithms and machine learning with an emphasis on reliability, validity and societal impact. After earning a PhD in Computer Science from Princeton University, he held positions at IBM Research Almaden, Google Research, and Google Brain. Hardt is co-founder of the Workshop on Fairness, Accountability and Transparency in Machine Learning (FAT / ML) and co-author of the upcoming "Fairness and Machine Learning" manual and has just released his book named: "Patterns, Predictions, and Actions: A Story about Machine Learning" -
Suresh Venkatasubramanian
Description: Suresh is a professor of computer science at the University of Utah, his research interests are a random walk through theoretical and applied aspects of data science, including computational geometry, sublinear algorithms, clustering, and kernel methods. He is currently working on the social ramifications of automated decision making. Suresh is a founding member of the FAccT conference which deals with fairness, accountability and transparency. He thinks what is happening at Google is very disturbing regarding the many ethical cases that show a fundamental reluctance to think about ethics. -
Alex Hanna
Description: Alex Hanna is an AI ethics researcher and sociologist, Alex works on the origins of training data that form the informational infrastructure of machine learning, artificial intelligence, and algorithmic fairness frameworks. Alex believes that it is not enough for companies and researchers to document their data because for him the datasets are ontological rules for the construction of the world. -
Kristian Lum
Description: Kristian is a Stastician researcher examining the use of machine learning in the criminal justice system. She demonstrated that predictive models of police based on machine learning can reinforce and, in some cases, amplify historical racial biases in law enforcement. She debates on social networks with many experts including Judea Pearl, Gary Markus and Thomas Dietterich. -
Rediet Abebe
Description: Computer scientist specializing in artificial intelligence. She is the first black woman to be appointed Professor of Computer Science at the University of California, Berkeley. She develops computer-assisted working methods around issues of discrimination, poverty and inequalities. She is the co-founder of Black In AI, a group that aims to fight discrimination. in the AI community. -
Ben Recht
Description: Ben and his research group aim to make machine learning systems more robust to interactions with a dynamic and uncertain world. He is particularly keen to dispel myths about machine learning and establishing baselines for data analysis. They collaborate in particular with researchers in computer-generated imagery and robotics. He writes books about machine learning specifically about actions, predictions and patterns. He particularly believes that reinforcement learning is a framework for learning from data. -
Joy Buolamwini
Description: Joy is the founder of the Justice League Algorithm which aims to protect minorities from algorithmic biases, she managed to persuade IBM, Amazon and Microsoft to put a stop to their facial recognition technology following her research. She has indeed shown that current AI have great difficulty in recognizing black women. Joy works at the MIT Media lab and participates in numerous conferences. She runs a section of the famous Jeopardy game called "Math in the World". -
Abeba Birhane
Description: Abeba is a recognized cognitive science researcher who denounces the algorythmic colonization of Africa. She thinks that basing AI on texts from the web ultimately risks perpetrating the dominant point of view. She shares the fruits of her research on social networks and is very concerned about the protection of minorities.
