100 mil mujeres en el programa Viogen.
100 mil que necesitan protección policial, si, tenemos un problema, no sé si de salud mental también pero esencialmente machista, replicando aquella estupidez de “la maté porque era mía“.
Y en muchos casos quedan los hijos a quienes se arranca de la infancia de manera terrorífica.

An #Algorithm Told #Police She Was Safe. Then Her Husband Killed Her.

VioGen is a risk prediction system for gender-based violence. But
- users (police) don't challenge the algo's predictions
- unrealistic assumptions (traumatised women can give binary responses to 35 questions!)
- not transparent, evaluated by creators
Even worse, it only assigns the number of 'extreme' risk scores that the police budget allows, and undervalues non-physical forms of violence.
All this collateral damage is typical of algorithmic/machine learning systems applied to social problems.
