A long history of racial injustice impacts present-day data collection and data-driven systems related to housing in the US.

Next Wednesday, IDSS will host Beyond Fairness, a day-long event with partners across campus exploring how data, algorithms, and AI intersect with housing insecurity, home ownership, and evictions.

The video below gives a quick, high-level overview of the work of the IDSS Research Initiative on Combatting Systemic Racism (ICSR) Housing team.

We are excited about the engagement this initiative has already inspired at MIT and beyond, and we hope to see many of you in-person or online next week!
