Limited Capacity filling up
Machine learning algorithms are coded procedures - a series of logical steps that use mathematical functions to find patterns in datasets - so is it possible for a machine learning model to be socially biased? How can social bias make its way into our data, our trained models, and our artificial intelligence, and how could that affect people in our society? What do we need to be aware of as data scientists in order to prevent our models from treating people unfairly and causing harm?
