UnBias Fairness Toolkit
September 7, 2018 by Giles Lane · Comments Off on UnBias Fairness Toolkit
The UnBias Fairness Toolkit is now available to download and use. It aims to promote awareness and to stimulate a public civic dialogue about algorithms, trust, bias and fairness. In particular, on how algorithms shape online experiences, influencing our everyday lives, and to reflect on how we want our future internet to be fair and free for all.
The tools not only encourage critical thinking, but civic thinking – supporting a more collective approach to imagining the future as a contrast to the individual atomising effect that such technologies often cause. The toolkit has been developed by Giles Lane, with illustrations by Alice Angus and Exercises devised by Alex Murdoch; alongside contributions from the UnBias team members and the input of young people and stakeholders.
The toolkit contains the following elements:
- Handbook
- Awareness Cards
- TrustScape
- MetaMap
- Value Perception Worksheets
