Perception of fairness in algorithmic decisions: Future developers' perspective

Abstract

Summary In this work, we investigate how students in fields adjacent to algorithms development perceive fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in algorithmic decision-making. Participants (N = 99) were asked to rate their agreement with statements regarding six constructs that are related to facets of fairness and justice in algorithmic decision-making using scenarios, in addition to defining algorithmic fairness and providing their view on possible causes of unfairness, transparency approaches, and accountability. The findings indicate that “agreeing” with a decision does not mean that the person “deserves the outcome,” perceiving the factors used in the decision-making as “appropriate” does not make the decision of the system “fair,” and perceiving a system's decision as “not fair” is affecting the participants' “trust” in the system. Furthermore, fairness is most likely to be defined as the use of “objective factors,” and participants identify the use of “sensitive attributes” as the most likely cause of unfairness.

Disease mapping and innovation: A history from wood-block prints to Web 3.0

“…The algorithms used in both collecting and analyzing data are, in turn, now being analyzed and criticized for racial and socioeconomic bias. 40 This wholesale refiguring of the “techno-cartographic” 41 follows, in the main, the pattern of technical innovation in other, older media.…”

Company, Job, and Perceived Advantage Influence on Job Hunting: Evaluating Glassdoor Job Hunting platform

“…Most investigations of this transformation have focused on online especially as it applies and use because researchers first noted that job application portal and job applications trends are changing the structure of jobs (Kang & Hwang, 2022;Kleanthous et al, 2022). According to a nationwide poll conducted in 2020, persons with resources to make and industries had a greater rate of Internet access and adoption (Lin & Wang, 2020).…”

“…On the other side, the scholarly works have primarily changed their attention from availability and use to injustices in abilities, strengths, and understand to make proper use of internet media (Alferidah & Jhanjhi, 2020;Boğan et al, 2020). Kleanthous et al (2022), for instance, discovered recently that years of knowledge are connected with more daily internet utilization, reversing social networking sites divide issues, as well as that persons with greater economic factors are better at the extraction of useful information from digital media. Raza et al (2020) agree that concentrating on qualified use of internet age is critical, noting that the rise of job application portal is intensifying the use of participatory online activities, which necessitate a variety of digital skills, and that a lack of them risks social, cultural, and economic exclusion.…”

“…Using the job application portal individuals discover job vacancies at different organizations and which vacancy is suitable for you, you can apply for it. People who are in the early phases of their job hunt do not have the same connection to a company as current employees (Kleanthous et al, 2022). As a result, job seekers will not have the chance to attain first-hand opinions of a particular employer's political situation and will be forced to do so through other means.…”

“…As a result, when the process is poorly viewed, best levels suffer. In reality, there is a dearth of research in the industry that looks at how applicants react to different screening procedures (Djurdjevic et al, 2019;Kleanthous et al, 2022;Williams, 2019).…”
