#Algorithmic Bias

Understanding how algorithms work can help you come to your own conclusions and not false positives driven by confirmation bias.

When AI couldn’t see her face… until she put on a white mask. This is algorithmic bias. Facial recognition that works better on lighter skin isn’t a glitch, it’s a warning. @poetofcode #AlgorithmicBias #FacialRecognition #TechJustice #AIethics #JoyBuolamwini #ResponsibleAI

are you training the algorithm or is the algorithm training you? why can't you develop taste on social media? this is part 1 in a series of me trying to find a sense of agency with ai. the thing is, all of these technologies are actually pretty amazing when their goal isn't "sell more ad space" 🙃 if any of these topics intrigue you i would highly recommend - From How AI Works to What AI Does - Nita Farahany - Thinking Freely substack - which essentially triggered this rabbit hole. title stolen from @cosmicskeptic interview with @etymologynerd #aiethics #culturalcommentary #thealgorithm #socialmedia

AI bias isn’t just about the data - it starts way before the first line of code is even written. 🤯 Most people think "cleaning" data is harmless, but combining simple things like addresses and birthdays can lead AI to make biased assumptions about race or income that weren't in the original set. Even the tools we use to collect data - like cameras and sensors - aren't always built for everyone, leading to a "foggy" view of the world. The real question we need to ask: Who is deciding what AI gets built and who does it actually help?4 Comment BIAS to read some of the research on this! 📚 #AIBias #EthicalAI #TechTransparency #DataScience #ResponsibleAI #AIEthics

Did you do your own research? Or just watch content that agreed with you? That's confirmation bias, not research. Real research is slow, boring, and involves questioning everything. #ConfirmationBias #CriticalThinking #ResearchSkills #LearnSomethingNew #MindsetMatters #PersonalGrowth #IntellectualHumility

“We need to recognise that the technologies being called AI now are reliant on mass surveillance,” says Meredith Whittaker, head of encrypted messaging app Signal. “I think we need to be very cautious.” She spoke to 7.30’s Laura Tingle.

Girl, I cannot keep up. Also, I wrote, filmed, and edited this on Tuesday evening, and by Wednesday morning the references were no longer up to date. Which just kinda reinforces the point, I suppose. I also left a lot out (🧊 kidnappings, Nat Guard deployment, etc. etc.) #2025 #algorithm #relatable #taylorswift

Your algorithm might be rage-baiting you…here is how to take it back!

People believe false things not from research, but from ego and insecurity. Confirmation bias fuels this, not real learning. Social media rewards outrageous claims over truth. Loud and confident doesn't mean right. #ConfirmationBias #CriticalThinking #MediaLiteracy #MindsetMatters #FakeNews #InformationOverload #SocialMediaFacts #EgoCheck

What thinking trap worries you most? For me, it’s not confirmation bias or the Dunning-Kruger effect—it’s the bias blind spot. “Other people have flaws in their thinking, but I’m perfectly rational!” Enjoyed discussing at @brilliantmindssthlm with @joannacoles
