In our upcoming #CSCW2022 paper, we asked how Wikipedians think content should be prioritized. The results revealed mismatches between their stated values and their decisions. Read about it in our blog post (and pre-print)! grouplens.org/blog/what-wiki…

We're midway of this summer's #REU program at @UMNComputerSci @grouplens led by @EvanSuma and @lanayarosh. The awesome student I am working with, Noah Gersich from @UofIllinois @IllinoisCS, is showing the research team an #AR prototype he's been working on :)

We've heard that human-AI collaboration can improve decisions, but will it increase or decrease racial disparities? Come find out and chat with me & @SloganTapleton in today's #CHI2022 Bias and Ethics session at 14:15 CT!

In our new paper, we find that the Allegheny Family Screening Tool (AFST) would’ve investigated more Black families than workers actually did. That’s surprising, because CPS workers already make disparate decisions. Link: dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1145/3… #CHI22 🧵
