SUMMARY:Ethics for the working mathematician\, discussion 5: Regulation\, 
 accountability\, and the law - Maurice Chiodo (University of Cambridge)
DTSTART:20201110T160000Z

CONTACT:Toby Clifton
DESCRIPTION:The work of mathematicians in industry is now very close to it
 s tangible\napplications\; we produce output that is extremely quick and e
 asy to use.\nJust look at machine-learned algorithms that compute credit s
 cores. Now\nthat we sit so close to the applications\, we need to consider
  what sort\nof responsibility we have. There are things we are\, and aren'
 t\, legally\nallowed to do. And there are consequences we might face if we
  fall foul\nof the law. Moreover\, given that our work is often cutting-ed
 ge\, we must\nself-regulate to prevent the types of harm that legislators 
 and others\nhave yet to realise is even possible.\n\nFor more information
