That's irrelevant. My point is that no bias is eliminated at first place, since the algorithm is still man made. You could argue that since there is no human intervention the same input would lead to the same output, but again, neither you or I have read the code to claim that it is somehow "bias free" or even completely deterministic, especially if the input relies on computer vision.

"no bias is eliminated at first place, since the algorithm is still man made" - This is a straw man. if specific criteria are being automatically evaluated bias is most certainly reduced (if not eliminated). 2. "especially if the input relies on computer vision" - evaluation criteria can be infinitely improved upon 3. "neither you or I have read the code" - I highlighted transparency concerns in my original comment 4. Unavoidable, unintentional implementation flaws (bugs) are expected but so are fixes and continuous improvements. I would certainly trust an algorithm to make a decision about my employment over an unpredictable, flawed, and (often times) incompetent human management
- hef19898 5y agoNo straw man, that algorithms cam be biased has been already proven.
