Understand, Manage, and Prevent Algorithmic Bias by Tobias BaerPublication Date: 2019
Are algorithms friend or foe? The human mind is evolutionarily designed to take shortcuts in order to survive. However, inherent bias negatively affects work environments and the decision-making surrounding our communities. While the creation of algorithms and machine learning attempts to eliminate bias, they are, after all, created by human beings, and thus are susceptible to what we call algorithmic bias. In Understand, Manage, and Prevent Algorithmic Bias, author Tobias Baer helps you understand where algorithmic bias comes from, how to manage it as a business user or regulator, and how data science can prevent bias from entering statistical algorithms.
