arXiv Paper Links Network Inequality to Fairness in Decision Systems
A new arXiv preprint argues that social networks both reflect and amplify existing inequalities, which then propagate into technologies that rely on network-derived signals. The authors propose treating network fairness as a core concern for responsible decision-making rather than an afterthought. The work is a perspective piece outlining how these structural biases arise and why they matter for downstream systems.
