Unai Fischer-Abaigar Featured on Executive Code

AI Prediction and Its Impact on Government Resource Allocation

MCML Junior Member Unai Fischer-Abaigar, was featured in a recent episode of Executive Code. He discussed his paper “The Value of Prediction in Identifying the Worst-Off”, exploring how governments use AI to allocate limited resources and when improving predictive models is more effective than simply expanding access to public programs. Using real data from Germany’s employment offices, his research challenges the assumption that better prediction always leads to better outcomes in public decision-making.
