CSL Professors R. Srikant and Tandy Warnow are on the leadership team for the recently announced C3.ai Digital Transformation Institute (DTI), which brings top scientists in industry and academia together to solve global problems.
The United States is expecting a severe shortage of ventilators to help people suffering from COVID-19. On March 16, 2020, a team of more than 40 engineers, doctors, medical professionals, designers, and manufacturing experts launched an Apollo 13-style project to help address that need.
The next few years of AI research will shape the future of human life—and some of the leading research in the area is being done right here at the Center for Cognitive Computing Systems Research, a joint venture between IBM and CSL.

Recent discussion in the public sphere about classification by algorithms has involved tension between competing notions of what it means for such a classification to be fair to different groups. We consider several of the key fairness conditions that lie at the heart of these debates, and discuss recent research establishing inherent trade-offs between these conditions. We also consider a variety of methods for promoting fairness and related notions for classification and ranking problems that involve sets rather than just individuals. This talk is based on joint work with Sendhil Mullainathan and Manish Raghavan.
