Technology Bias

Technology bias refers to the systematic favoritism or disadvantage that emerges from the design, development, or implementation of technology. It can manifest in various forms, such as algorithmic bias, where automated systems produce results that reflect or perpetuate existing social prejudices or inequalities. This bias can arise from the data used to train algorithms, which may be incomplete or skewed, or from the underlying assumptions and values of the individuals who create the technology.

Consequently, technology bias can impact decision-making processes across different fields, including hiring practices, law enforcement, healthcare, and more, leading to unfair treatment of individuals or groups. Recognizing and addressing technology bias is increasingly important to ensure equity, accountability, and fairness in technological advancements and applications.
