Rapid advances in AI have raised questions about algorithmic discrimination and bias. Catherine Tucker highlights a problem that has received relatively little attention in such discussions: algorithmic exclusion, when AI fails to make a prediction because of insufficient input data.
Artificial intelligence and algorithmic exclusion - The Hamilton Project
In this proposal, Catherine Tucker makes the case for including algorithmic exclusion, defined as failure or harm arising from insufficient input data, in AI policies and regulations.

Does it matter at what age a child experienced the COVID shock for subsequent learning?
Eileen Powell and I have taken a first stab by looking at math and English proficiency by grade cohorts. The answer: yep.

NEW: @laurenhlb.bsky.social and Eileen Powell assess the pandemic’s impact on student learning. Looking at students who were in kindergarten through 7th grade during the 2019–20 school year, they find COVID-related disruptions had larger impacts on older students’ proficiency rate trajectories.
