We introduce two natural notions of fairness (subgroup and instantaneous) which could establish the study of fairness in forecasting and learning of linear dynamical systems.
Jakub Mareček
Jakub received his bachelor and masters degrees from Masaryk University, in Brno, the Czech Republic, and his Ph.D. degree from the University of Nottingham, Nottingham, U.K., in 2006, 2009, and 2012, respectively. He has worked in two start-ups, at ARM Ltd., at the University of Edinburgh, at the University of Toronto, at IBM Research -- Ireland, and at the University of California, Los Angeles. He is currently a faculty member at the Czech Technical University in Prague, the Czech Republic. He designs and analyses algorithms for optimisation and control problems across a range of application domains, including power systems, quantum computing, and robust statistics.

Research Results
The manner in which agents contribute to a social-computing platform (e.g., social sensing, social media) is often governed by distributed algorithms. We explore the guarantees available in situations, where fairness among the agents contributing to the platform is needed.
Many optimization problems in binary decision variables are hard to solve. In this work, we demonstrate how to leverage decades of research in classical optimization algorithms to warm-start quantum optimization algorithms. This allows the quantum algorithm to inherit the performance guarantees from the classical algorithm used in the warm-start.

We are coordinating a major Horizon Europe project in fair artificial intelligence. Ethical aspects of AI systems lie at the center of the project which aims to develop explainable and transparent AI algorithms.
Apple AirTags and other location-tracking devices are a useful tool when it comes to locating misplaced items or even missing people. But in the hands of stalkers or criminals, these can be weaponized. How can we maintain privacy standards and guarantee fairness? Our AI algorithms offer solutions.
