I'm afraid I disagree pretty strongly with this. Sure, it could be even better! I wish we had more people doing this, more funding, etc. But there are too many of us working in this space to suggest we're asleep at the wheel.

I also doubt it's a coincidence that algorithmic accountability has so many female researchers and it's been marginalized enough to warrant an op-ed saying academia is asleep at the wheel. There's a pretty convincing causal direction, in fact.

Heh, best summary of what's exactly what's wrong with the analysis in this oped. There is an enormous effort to do just this (and bring more people and create more institutes etc.), and huge political/money opposition to the project. The op-ed has it just about 100% backward.

I'd ask us to (re)consider the op-ed as a piece targeting the people who found,
fund
, and organize foundations and universities. She wants them to make more ppl like us: a call for resources, institutionalization. Please--start forwarding this to deans and above. I have. -
I suspect if I sent this to my dean he might ask why no one is paying attention to the data science initiatives we are already doing and ponder how ignoring and tearing them down is helping. Just my guess.
