Good thread on transparency steps @CitImmCanada vis-a-vis algorithmic and AI decision-making. If anything, it raises questions as to how these different applications operate on the ground and how their functions shift over time.

A (little more) transparency by @CitImmCanada on the use of automated decision-making goes a long way:

This type of work is crucially needed, esp to tackle the challenges posed by digital administration. Yet the funding landscape in Canada offers few sustainable opportunities and faculties are shy to robustly support this work, despite its promise of high rewards.
