President Trump has proposed a ban on large institutional investors buying single-family homes. In this proposal, Laurie Goodman and Ingrid Gould Ellen argue that focusing on who owns single-family rentals distracts from the more important question of how to effectively address the housing shortage:

Rapid advances in AI have raised questions about algorithmic discrimination and bias. Catherine Tucker highlights a problem that has received relatively little attention in such discussions: algorithmic exclusion, when AI fails to make a prediction because of insufficient input data.
Artificial intelligence and algorithmic exclusion - The Hamilton Project
In this proposal, Catherine Tucker makes the case for including algorithmic exclusion, defined as failure or harm arising from insufficient input data, in AI policies and regulations.
