On the Societal Impact of Machine Learning

This PhD thesis examines how machine learning (ML) influences society, noting that ML increasingly shapes consequential decisions and recommendations. It highlights the risk of discriminatory effects when fairness is not explicitly considered in data‑driven systems. The work proposes methods for measuring fairness, decomposing ML systems to anticipate bias, and implementing interventions that reduce discrimination while preserving utility, and it outlines future research directions as ML, including generative AI, becomes more integrated into society.
