Algorithms were supposed to make Virginia judges fairer. What actually happened was far more complicated
Aurélie Ouss of the School of Arts and Sciences praised a study that proved that algorithms are imperfect tools when it comes to predicting crime. She said that, ultimately, the usefulness of algorithms in criminal justice comes down to implementation: “It may be a case that a different tool that’s designed differently—that judges use differently—would yield different results.”
