Gabriel Geiger @gabrielgeiger.bsky.social · 11/06/2025When I first heard about the city of Amsterdam's attempt to build an ethical welfare fraud detection model, I didn’t want to pursue the story. At the time, my justification was that my energy was better spent investigating more problematic deployments where the harms are clearest. 141 0
