چکیده
Algorithmic bias refers to systematic and structured errors in an artificial intelligence system that generate unfair results inequalities. This column discusses how algorithms appears, amplifies over time, shapes people’s thinking, potentially leading discrimination.

Algorithmic Bias in Autonomous Systems
Algorithms play a key role in the functioning of autonomous systems, and so concerns have periodically been raised about the possibility of algorithmic bias. However, debates in this area have been hampered by different meanings and uses of the term, “bias.” It is sometimes used as a purely descriptive term, sometimes as a pejorative term, and such variations can promote confusion and hamper di...
متن کاملCognitive Bias for Universal Algorithmic Intelligence
Existing theoretical universal algorithmic intelligence models are not practically realizable. More pragmatic approach to artificial general intelligence is based on cognitive architectures, which are, however, non-universal in sense that they can construct and use models of the environment only from Turingincomplete model spaces. We believe that the way to the real AGI consists in bridging the...
متن کاملAn Algorithmic Framework to Control Bias in Bandit-based Personalization
Personalization is pervasive in the online space as it leads to higher efficiency and revenue by allowing the most relevant content to be served to each user. However, recent studies suggest that personalization methods can propagate societal or systemic biases and polarize opinions; this has led to calls for regulatory mechanisms and algorithms to combat bias and inequality. Algorithmically, b...
متن کاملAlgorithmic bias amplifies opinion polarization: A bounded confidence model
The flow of information reaching us via the online media platforms is optimized not by the information content or relevance but by popularity and proximity to the target. This is typically performed in order to maximise platform usage. As a side effect, this introduces an algorithmic bias that is believed to enhance polarization of the societal debate. To study this phenomenon, we modify the we...
متن کاملHow algorithmic popularity bias hinders or promotes quality
Algorithms that favor popular items are used to help us select among many choices, from engaging articles on a social media news feed to songs and books that others have purchased, and from top-raked search engine results to highly-cited scientific papers. The goal of these algorithms is to identify high-quality items such as reliable news, beautiful movies, prestigious information sources, and...
