Alaa Allawi was always adept at computers, beginning at 14 by building his machine piece by piece, to building Iraqi dating sites and even getting in trouble for allegedly hacking his boss’s email. 🎨: Monet Alyssa 2/13

Allawi moved to the US as part of a special visa program to start a new life in Texas. At first he had help from charities and was able to go to school. But soon he struggled to eke out a living. 3/13

In 2017, the city of Rotterdam deployed a machine learning algorithm to generate a risk score for around 30,000 people receiving welfare payments. The algorithm used attributes such as age, gender, and Dutch language ability to determine who should be investigated for fraud. 2/10

@LHreports

WIRED and @LHreports obtained Rotterdam’s welfare fraud algorithm and the data used to train it. By reconstructing the system, we found that it discriminates based on ethnicity and gender and has fundamental flaws that make it both inaccurate and unfair. 3/10
