Examples of bias in AI systems

Bias in Natural Language Processing:

Some natural language processing models may be susceptible to bias in
interpretation and analysis because they may have been trained on text data
that contains specific biases or concepts.

Bias in Online Recruitment:

In online job recruitment platforms, artificial intelligence algorithms may filter
resumes and select candidates. If these algorithms are trained on data
containing past hiring biases, candidates may be chosen unfairly.

Bias in Search Engines:
●Occasionally, biases may appear in search engine results due to how
algorithms classify web content. This can lead to the promotion of certain
sources or the disregard of others.
