HAI Weekly Seminar with Sherri Rose
Health care is moving toward analytic systems that take large databases and estimate varying quantities of interest both quickly and robustly, incorporating advances from statistics, econometrics, and computer science. The massive size of the health care sector make data science applications in this space particularly salient for social policy. This presentation will discuss specific challenges related to developing and deploying statistical machine learning algorithms for health economics and outcomes research. Considerations go beyond typical measures of statistical assessment, and include concepts such as dataset shift and algorithmic fairness. An overarching theme is that developing methodology tailored to specific substantive health problems and the associated electronic health data is critical given the stakes involved.

Arvind Narayanan | Adapting to the Transformation of Knowledge Work
The possibility that AI will automate most cognitive labor is worth taking seriously. How should we adapt to this transformation? I start from the perspective, articulated in the essay “AI as normal technology”, that the true bottlenecks lie downstream of capabilities and that AI’s impacts will unfold gradually over decades. If this is true, there are major gaps in our current evidence infrastructure, because it over-emphasizes the capability layer.
