The last few years have seen an explosion of academic and popular interest in algorithmic fairness. Despite this interest and the volume and velocity of work that has been produced recently, the fundamental science of fairness in machine learning is still in a nascent state. In March 2018, we convened a group of experts as part of a CCC visioning workshop to assess the state of the field, and distill the most promising research directions going forward. This report summarizes the findings of that workshop. Along the way, it surveys recent theoretical work in the field and points towards promising directions for research.

  1. Talking Trees: Reasoning-Assisted Induction of Decision Trees for Tabular Data

    cs.LG 2025-09 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Reasoning LLMs with minimal tools for tree construction and analysis induce decision trees that outperform CART, compete with ensembles on low-resource tabular data, and provide human-readable reasoning traces.

  2. Trustworthy AI Suffers from Invariance Conflicts and Causality is The Solution

    cs.AI 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Causality provides a unifying framework for resolving trade-offs in trustworthy AI by managing invariance conflicts under changes to the data-generating process.

  3. Ethical and social risks of harm from Language Models

    cs.CL 2021-12 accept novelty 6.0

    The authors provide a detailed taxonomy of 21 risks associated with language models, covering discrimination, information leaks, misinformation, malicious applications, interaction harms, and societal impacts like job...

  4. Fairness criteria through the lens of directed acyclic graphical models

    cs.CY 2019-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Graphical models show Equalized Odds and related fairness criteria to be misleading, so fairness assessments should be case-specific and depend on the algorithm's information flow.
