REAL WORLD
Bias in technology is not just a theory. It can affect real people in everyday situations.
EXAMPLE 01
Facial recognition technology is used in areas such as security and identity verification.
If a system has been trained using limited or unbalanced data, it may not work equally well for everyone.
EXAMPLE 02
Companies may use technology to help sort applications or identify potential candidates.
If the system learns from historical decisions that contain unfair patterns, it may reproduce those patterns.
EXAMPLE 03
Websites and apps use recommendation systems to decide which videos, posts, products, or articles to show users.
These systems can influence what people see and what information becomes more visible.
THE SOLUTION
Responsible technology requires people to test systems, use diverse and appropriate data, look for unfair outcomes, and keep humans involved in important decisions.
Technology should be designed to help people — not disadvantage them.
Think. Question. Improve.
