Three Kinds of Bias
Captions available
The idea
Bias enters deployed systems through three channels — social bias learned from data, cognitive biases of humans in the loop, and statistical skew in the datasets.
In practice
A screener trained on past hires; an officer trusting the score over contrary documents; a pile collected only from smartphone users — one channel each.
Where people slip
Automation over-trust is a bias about the system that compounds the system's own.
