Haha, great timing. Thanks for sharing! The articles brings up a bunch of interesting ethical questions too.

• publishing anonymized data publicly
• should citizens know how they get on a list like this
• should researchers publish the algorithm
• should citizens be able to take themselves off a list
• what factors should be used in a model (age, gender, etc)
• should departments target people using an algorithm (innocent until proven guilty) It's such a tricky topic to study but interesting to see more detail about this especially for Chicago.
