Algorithmic fairness criteria for machine learning models are gathering widespread research interest. They are also relevant in the context of data-driven personas that rely on online user data and opaque algorithmic processes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Overall, while technology provides lucrative opportunities for the persona design practice, several ethical concerns need to be addressed to adhere to ethical standards and to achieve end user trust.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Rethinking Personas for Fairness: Algorithmic Transparency and Accountability in Data-Driven Personas<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In this research, led by\u00a0Joni Salminen<\/a>, we outline the key ethical concerns in data-driven persona generation and provide design implications to overcome these ethical concerns.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Good practices of data-driven persona development include (a) creating personas also from outliers (not only majority groups), (b) using data to demonstrate diversity within a persona, (c) explaining the methods and their limitations as a form of transparency, and (d) triangulating the persona information to increase truthfulness.<\/span><\/p>\n
