I set up a company, an algorithmic auditing company myself. I have no clients.

Especially from my experience as a quant in a hedge fund - I naively went in there thinking that I would be making the market more efficient and then was like, oh my God, I'm part of this terrible system that is blowing up the world's economy, and I don't want to be a part of that.

Obviously the more transparency we have as auditors, the more we can get, but the main goal is to understand important characteristics about a black box algorithm without necessarily having to understand every single granular detail of the algorithm.

Occupy provided me a lens through which to see systemic discrimination.

Every system using data separates humanity into winners and losers.

We can't just throw something out there and assume it works just because it has math in it.

Evidence of harm is hard to come by.
