These are the four most popular misconceptions people have about race & gender bias in algorithms.

I'm wary of wading into this conversation again, but it's important to acknowledge the research that refutes each point, despite it feeling counter-intuitive.

Let me clarify.👇🏾

@haffi_verena Miss you!!

[Alessa Betts @AlessaBetts]

@MillionStem Things have changed quite a bit since originally writing this so happy to update if you let me know how is best to do so 😊

[Sarah Kocianski — on Bluesky and Threads @SarahKocianski]

In a surprise to exactly no-one, BNPL schemes are affecting customers' credit scores. The question is, what are providers doing to alert users to the fact they might be affected? https://t.co/FLxIrmU0v5 via @siftedeu

On my way to #Frankfurt for today’s @bankenverband #Outsourcing event. Thanks for having me back @RKAltendorf @tobilinius !

[Alessa Betts @AlessaBetts]

Glad to see this is being investigated- some really worrying instances quoted with men receiving 10-20x the credit limit of their wives, despite having lower credit scores!

Great to see prominent figures in the German #Fintech industry committing to not take part in #manels

[Alessa Betts @AlessaBetts]

How can this still be be case in 2019 @DKM_Leitmesse ? 72/73 speakers on #insuretech are men and the only woman is last on the line up?? Thanks @finanzszene for highlighting this
