Algorithmic Bias | Towards greater Transparency, Fairness and Representation in automated systems design
Could you be a victim of algorithmic discrimination without even realising it?
Algorithms are increasingly being used in more settings than ever before and they are often relied upon to make snap decisions on future events, based of patterns found in historic data.
