One-U RAI Guest Lecture—When Algorithms Shape Behavior: Rethinking Fairness in Classification
When Algorithms Shape Behavior: Rethinking Fairness in Classification, Speaker: Maggie Penn, Professor of Political Science and Data & Decision Sciences at Emory University; Visiting Scholar at the Russell Sage Foundation
Abstract: Classification algorithms are increasingly used in high-stakes domains such as credit, employment, healthcare, housing, law enforcement, and national security. These systems do more than assign labels—they influence behavior by shaping incentives and expectations. In this talk, I argue that when classification affects individual behavior, conventional statistical notions of algorithmic fairness can be misleading or incomplete. I introduce a social scientific framework for modeling behavioral responses to classification and analyzing how classification rules shape outcomes across groups. This framework yields new fairness criteria that account for endogenous behavior, individual welfare, and explicability. I'll draw tight connections between statistical, behavioral, welfare, and…
