Above all else, AI is an idea—an ideal—shaped by worldviews and sci-fi tropes as much as by math and computer science. Figuring out what we are talking about when we talk about AI will clarify many things. We won’t agree on them, but common ground on what AIiswould be a great ...
This cognitive bias states that people react to a choice in different ways, depending on how it’s presented (i.e., framed). For example, it could be framed as a loss or as a gain. We tend to avoid risk when a positive frame is presented, but seek risk when a negative frame is ...
A cognitive bias is a systematic error in thinking that impacts one's choices and judgments. The concept of cognitive bias was first proposed by Amos Tversky and Daniel Kahneman in a1974 articleinScience. Since then, researchers have identified and studied numerous types of cognitive biases. These...
You might think that people with higher IQs are less likely to experience confirmation bias, but research suggests that this is not true. One study published in Current Directions in Psychological Science confirmed thatmyside bias is present in people of all intelligence levels. Even if a person ...

Deep learning is an aspect of data science that drives many applications and services that improveautomation, performing analytical and physical tasks without human intervention. This enables many everyday products and services—such as digital assistants, voice-enabled TV remotes, credit card fraud dete...
The Obesity Society.This nonprofit organization believes there’s a science behind obesity—it’s not just about your environment and life choices, it’s chemical, it’s inside you. While helping you understand that, they also do the work to create science-based treatments to change your life...
Algorithmic bias results in unfair outcomes due to skewed or limited input data, unfair algorithms, or exclusionary practices during AI development.
Bias: Data may be clean, but is it free from bias? As an obvious case, let’s say you wanted to train a machine learning system to detect dogs in pictures, and you’ve got a robust data set of only Labrador and poodle photos. After training, the model is great at detecting these ...
