AI Ethics 101
WHAT'S THE PROBLEM WITH ALGORITHMS?
Though a certain major movie franchise envisioned an earth that couldn’t stop the rise of robot overlords, the IDH has hope that we can stop this mechanized insurrection by calling for humans, rather than algorithms, to analyze other humans.
Not convinced algorithms are a problem? Still sound like science fiction?
Well, let us introduce you
-- gently --
to how algorithmic discrimination
is already becoming
a way of life in employment decisions.
(And to Social Credit Scores,
which is where we might be headed
if we let algorithms continue unchecked.)
Here's how we describe the inherent problems
with algorithms in our national pilot curriculum
(for high school students)
with the Anti-Defamation League and Bites Media.
Lesson plan is here.

Want a hint at how the IDH gets
students and communities across
the country
speaking together
(in a bi-partisan, mutli-faith, and cross-cultural way)
about algorithmic ethics?
Look to your left.
And here's the proof that this method is working in classrooms across the country.
