Study examines when decision-makers have incentives to offer algorithmic recourse
A research paper investigates whether organizations that rely on automated decision systems, such as banks and employers, have any motivation to tell rejected applicants how they could change an unfavorable outcome. The work analyzes the strategic incentives behind offering recourse, a mechanism meant to help people overturned by algorithmic decisions. Its findings are relevant to ongoing debates about transparency and fairness in automated decision-making.
