Dr. Brittany Johnson, Assistant Professor in CS, investigating ways to reduce bias in software.
Dr. Brittany Johnson, an assistant professor of computer science, is researching ways to eliminate or reduce bias in software. “We develop technology using real-world data, but that data can have biases that affect the output of the software,” says Brittany Johnson, an assistant professor in the Department of Computer Science. It happens in software developed for healthcare, banking, and retail, she says.
