The purpose of this study is to understand the impact of Zillow and their machine-learning algorithm Zestimate on the real estate market. We will interview real estate agents, home buyers, and home sellers to explore their experiences with this AI system. This case study comprises an intriguing example of not only the transformative power of algorithms in society but also how AI systems may transform the role of real estate agents as knowledge experts, and how effective partnerships between different stakeholders and AI can be achieved or hampered. The proposed research project aims to dive deep into this socio-technical phenomenon, focusing on the concept of human-AI collaboration and trustworthy AI, and how this new technology is disrupting societal and economic practices in a systemic fashion.
Black men are diagnosed with prostate cancer more often than white men, and more commonly die from this disease. Care for advanced prostate cancer has improved a great deal over the past ten years, but these differences have continued. In order to improve equity in cancer care, we want to determine who is not getting the highest quality of care and whether race is associated with differences in care. Our study will ask Black and White men about their experiences with cancer care - if they trusted their doctors, how well their doctors communicated with them, and if they were satisfied with the care they received. We will ask about the challenges they experienced in receiving care, and what might have helped them get better care. We will use these results to design a better way to deliver care.
