Excited to (finally!) publicly share the output of an AI audits class I taught last spring: an audit of Legal Aid of North Carolina’s LIA tool. As far as I know, it’s one of the first audits of its kind in the access to justice space.

My colleague @anniewaldman.bsky.social has a bombshell expose on UnitedHealth, how it uses an algorithm originally intended to help flag patients at risk of suicide or substance use to instead flag "overuse" of mental health services. She's got internal documents: www.propublica.org/article/unit...
