PhD Student
Marco Rondina is a PhD student in Computer and Control Engineering at the Politecnico di Torino, where he is also a member of the Nexa Center for Internet & Society.
His research focuses on data fairness in the field of responsible AI/AI safety, with the overarching goal of investigating and addressing algorithmic discrimination in real-world systems. Specifically, he examines how data quality, data documentation and data ethics intersect to enable or prevent unfair outcomes in AI applications.
He approaches these challenges using empirical methods, such as conducting algorithmic audits and black-box testing of deployed systems across various domains, including automated decision-making systems and large language models. He combines quantitative analysis of bias and fairness with the development of practical frameworks for measuring, documenting, and improving datasets and AI systems.
A central theme of his research is to understand how poor data practices, ranging from inadequate documentation to imbalanced representation, can result in discriminatory outcomes, particularly against marginalised and vulnerable groups. To this end, he tests existing systems and develops tools to help practitioners build more accountable and equitable data-driven software.
