True or false? Humans are fallible and biased while computers are logical and impartial.For years, data scientists held a belief in that statement, and algorithms were written with confidence that the results they returned were unbiased. But recent work in data science and artificial intelligence has proven this is not the case.“Algorithms reinforce human biases. They amplify them. So algorithmic biases can be much worse than human biases and can have greater impacts,” said Cecilia Aragon (pictured), professor of human-centered design and engineering at the University of Washington
