jasonjgw: A meeting is planned for discussion but date has not been set
janina: We need to be sure to pull in Jutta Treviranus on this discussion
jasonjgw: Even defining what fairness means in the context of machine learning is complex and disability has not been widely considered
jasonjgw: There are other types of biases which have received more attention in the literature, but disability bias is a complex area
janina: Our goal should be to find some way to influence the development of AI so that disability bias does not get introduced
jasonjgw: The primary guidance so far is to include people with disability in every step of the development process
jasonjgw: Should note that even if bias is not initially ingrained in the development, machine learning can become biased as it is deployed and "learns" biased information
jasonjgw: We have not seen much regulatory interest in this so far
jasonjgw: Bias is of course problematic in human judgement as well; some propose that machine learning could be employed to limit such biases
