This NPR story by Dina Temple-Raston is a great primer for All The Ethical Issues Related To Algorithms, accessible to non- or novice-statisticians. It clocks in at just under five minutes, perfect as a discussion prompt or quick introduction to the topic. How to use in class: They talk about regression without ever saying "regression": "Algorithms use past patterns of success to predict the future." So, regression, right? Fancy regression, but that one line can take this fancy talk of algorithms and make it more applicable to your students. Sometimes, I feel like I'm just waving my hands when I try to explain thi...
