b'Today we\\u2019re joined by Sandra Wacther, an associate professor and senior research fellow at the University of Oxford.\\xa0\\n\\nSandra\\u2019s work lies at the intersection of law and AI, focused on what she likes to call \\u201calgorithmic accountability\\u201d. In our conversation, we explore algorithmic accountability in three segments, explainability/transparency, data protection, and bias, fairness and discrimination. We discuss how the thinking around black boxes changes when discussing applying regulation and law, as well as a breakdown of counterfactual explanations and how they\\u2019re created. We also explore why factors like the lack of oversight lead to poor self-regulation, and the conditional demographic disparity test that she helped develop to test bias in models, which was recently adopted by Amazon.\\n\\nThe complete show notes for this episode can be found at twimlai.com/go/521.'
