About

Xiaofei Peng is a rising scholar at the intersection of artificial intelligence, ethics, and social justice, whose work critically examines how AI systems shape—and are shaped by—societal inequalities. Her most-cited paper, “Fairness perceptions of artificial intelligence decision-making” (2022, 9 citations), tackles a pressing global challenge: the potential for AI to either mitigate or exacerbate inequality in decision-making processes. By investigating how people perceive fairness in AI-driven outcomes, Peng highlights the gap between technical efficiency and human trust, arguing that without addressing these perceptions, AI risks reinforcing existing disparities. Her research bridges behavioral science and computer ethics, offering actionable insights for designing more equitable algorithms. Though early in her career, Peng’s focus on sustainable development goals—particularly reducing inequality—positions her as a critical voice in the responsible AI movement. Her work is essential for students and researchers seeking to understand the human dimensions of algorithmic governance, reminding us that fairness is not just a technical metric but a social contract.
