Unit 4 Reflection

There was nothing new in this unit really shocked me. I already knew some about bias and algorithms separately, but this unit helped me connect those two together. I do not think algorithms are all bad, I think they’re quite helpful actually. And I think biases in humans are okay to have too. But when computers (the algorithms) and bias mix, it is not a good combination to have. The college admission example I gave in my discussion post shows exactly how I think/feel about bias in algorithms. They should not be set in stone, humans should be able to go back over the algorithm’s work and see which outcomes it did not choose.
