What is the role of algorithms in bias?

What is the role of algorithms in bias?

Algorithms can perpetuate bias by reflecting the data they are trained on, which may contain historical prejudices.

Can you give an example of how this happens?

Sure! For instance, if an algorithm is trained on hiring data that favors certain demographics, it may continue to favor those groups.

How can we mitigate bias in algorithms?

Mitigating bias involves using diverse training data, regular audits, and implementing fairness-aware algorithms.

Are there any regulations regarding algorithmic bias?

Yes, some regions have introduced regulations to ensure transparency and accountability in algorithmic decision-making.
