How to do Algorithm Audits
Hey Hey MKTG 4994. I’m sorry I can’t be in person today. But, Dr. May was cool enough to let us do this class asynchronous style.
Here is what you need to do:
- Watch this video from Cathy O’Neal to learn about the dark-side of algorithms.
2. Then watch this video from my lab on how to do algorithm audits (till the 29:49 mark)
3. Then you will answer these three questions:
●What is an algorithm?
●What is an Algorithm audit?
●Why is it important to conduct an algorithm audits?
4. Finally, sign-up for an account on OPEN AI, and take 15 (or so minutes) to ask their Q&A some questions. Play around. See if you notice anything weird. Or interesting.
●What did you learn?
●What type of algorithm audit might we run on this service?
5. When you have answered questions 3 & 4, send an email to BLTPHD@VT.EDU with the Subject Line: MKTG 4994 to get credit for this work. I’ll reply to the most interesting responses.
If you have any questions hit me up at the same email.
