Abstract:
Our lives are being quantified by algorithms that are hidden from view. This paper explores the various
ways in which algorithms fuel biased decision making. Algorithms are used to profile and predict people’s behavior, presumably in a neutral manner. However, algorithms may be tainted by our biases in covert and subtle ways that can have a significant impact on people’s lives.
