Bias in algorithms have always been a key issue in the growing field of artificial intelligence. For instance, researchers found in an experiment that flawed AI in robots has the tendency to make ...

New research by Questrom’s Carey Morewedge shows that people recognize more of their biases in algorithms’ decisions than they do in their own—even when those decisions are the same Algorithms were ...

A wave of protests over law enforcement abuses has highlighted concerns over artificial intelligence programs like facial recognition which critics say may reinforce racial bias. Facial recognition ...

LONDON – Twitter says it’s investigating why its picture-cropping algorithm sometimes prefers white faces to Black ones. The investigation comes after Twitter users noticed Black faces were less ...

This guest post from Alegion explores the reality of machine learning bias and how to mitigate its impact on AI systems. Artificial intelligence (AI) isn’t perfect. It exists as a combination of ...

For more than a decade, journalists and researchers have been writing about the dangers of relying on algorithms to make weighty decisions: who gets locked up, who gets a job, who gets a loan — even ...
