Data-driven systems are increasingly deployed in settings that directly or indirectly people's rights, lives, and well-being. This raises urgent needs to understand how such models lead to more, or less, justice in the world. This course introduces a range of notions around justice, rights, and equity, as well as their computation implementations in machine learning systems. Students are welcome who have backgrounds in machine learning, or in ethics and justice, or both.
