Purpose of the study
Who should be accountable for ensuring computer algorithms make fair, just, and moral decisions?

• Facebook, Twitter, Google, and Amazon use algorithms to decide what you see.
• Hospitals, doctors, and insurance companies use algorithms to decide about healthcare.
• Banks use algorithms to decide about your credit.
• Police, judges, and courts use algorithms to decide legal matters
