Bias and Misinformation in Business
A Salon for UVA Faculty

The UVA Darden-Data Science Collaboratory (DCADS) invites faculty to A Salon on Bias and Misinformation in Business. The Salon will explore the challenges posed by bias and misinformation and consider the opportunities afforded by the application of data and technology to assist in understanding, identifying, and mitigating their harmful impacts. The intention is to build a community of interest and foster the exchange of ideas at UVA on the topics of bias and misinformation in business, so that, in the future, we may pursue multidisciplinary research, advance teaching, and learning, inform corporate practice, and improve community understanding on these topics.

Friday, October 7, from 11 am to 2 pm
Colonnade Club, Pavilion VII
Pre-registration required

The event will feature a talk by Cathy O’Neil, Visiting Scholar, UVA School of Data Science and author of Weapons of Math Destruction (2016) and The Shame Machine (2022). In addition, it will include a panel discussion moderated by Bobby Parmar, Darden School of Business, and including Laurent Dubois, UVA Karsh Institute for Democracy, Brent Kitchens, McIntire School of Commerce, and Frederick Schauer, University of Virginia School of Law.  There will also be ample time for an open discussion over lunch.

This event is organized by the Darden-SDS Collaboratory for Applied Data Science (DCADS), with the support of the Darden School of Business, the School of Data Science, the McIntire School of Commerce, the School of Law, and the Karsh Institute for Democracy.
