Paradoxes in Fair Computer-Aided Decision Making
Computer-aided decision making, where some classifier (e.g., an algorithm trained using machine learning methods) assists human decision-makers in making important decisions, is becoming increasingly prevalent. For instance, judges in at least nine states are using algorithmic tools to determine recidivism risk-scores for criminal defendants, and these risk scores are next used for sentencing, ...
متن کاملNew paradoxes of risky decision making.
During the last 25 years, prospect theory and its successor, cumulative prospect theory, replaced expected utility as the dominant descriptive theories of risky decision making. Although these models account for the original Allais paradoxes, 11 new paradoxes show where prospect theories lead to self-contradiction or systematic false predictions. The new findings are consistent with and, in sev...

Human subjects often violate the rational decision–making theory, which is based on the notion of expected utility and axioms of choice (Neumann & Morgenstern, 1944; Savage, 1954). The counterexamples, suggested by Allais (1953) and Ellsberg (1961), deserve special attention because they point at our lack of understanding of how humans make decisions. The paradoxes of decision–making are partic...
