Algorithmic Bias in Artificial Intelligence

Type: Presentation

Description:
Have you ever wondered how social media platforms decide who to recommend as your friend? Or how AI models can be used to forecast the future? All prediction algorithms in AI have some inherent bias. The algorithms need bias to be able to generalize to previously unseen situations, but often bias is seen as a problem that causes algorithms to make mistakes. Here we explore different types of bias and how they can impact scenarios differently. Participants can talk with researchers and learn about the benefits and drawbacks of bias through hands-on demonstrations.
