关于

Hi! I’m Jenn Wortman Vaughan (opens in new tab), a Senior Principal Researcher at Microsoft Research, NYC.

I work on responsible AI (opens in new tab)—specifically transparency, interpretability, and fairness of AI systems—as part of Microsoft’s FATE group (opens in new tab) and Co-Chair of Microsoft’s Aether (opens in new tab) working group on transparency. I am interested in the interaction between people and AI, and in the increasingly distant past I often studied this interaction in the context of prediction markets and other crowdsourcing systems. My passion is for AI that augments, rather than replaces, human abilities. My research background is in machine learning and algorithmic economics, but these days I more frequently incorporate behavioral experiments and even qualitative methods into my research in order to better understand human behavior in sociotechnical systems.

See my website (opens in new tab) for more information and a full publication list (opens in new tab). My standard bio (for talk announcements, etc.) is here (opens in new tab). You can also find me on Twitter (opens in new tab) (though not very often these days).
