I've seen a lot of articles making this suggestion, but never do they seem to actually check if the software was indeed written by white men. It's as if they don't want their biases contradicted by evidence.
- wtflmaohnisdumb 9y agoWho the biased algorithms are written by are pretty irrelevant. The argument is they are biased against anyone who is not a white male, and that we should be aware of that.
- nitwit005 9y agoThe article has a hypothesis right in the headline: "algorithmic bias is a result of the insular, mostly white tech industry". So no, if it was written by an entirely Indian staff at an Indian outsourcing company, that would discredit the idea.
