Fairness Is a Decision
Captions available
The idea
Technological fixes for bias have inherent limits — reasonable definitions of fairness exist and conflict, so fairness is a decision argued and owned by people, not a parameter awaiting discovery.
In practice
The whose-utilities question at civic scale: someone chooses which fairness, and the choice is not arithmetic.
Where people slip
A scoping result, not despair — the limit locates responsibility, off the math and onto the choosers.
