@bonstewart I don’t really have an answer to this question, but I would want my students to at least be aware that this is happening. Awareness may not get ride of bias, however it will make students conscious that these things are present. #unboundeq
@LauzonColin@bonstewart I think this is a really good point. Identifying your own biases and being conscious that search engines also have biases will not get rid of online bias, but at least let people realize they are present.
@bonstewart One instance that I noticed algorithms automated decisions visibly operating in my life occurred when my parents and I were discussing going on vacation. During dinner we were pondering the idea of booking a vacation to Cuba for the week. . #unboundeq
@bonstewart After dinner my dad went on facebook and the first ad that popped up was “cheapest flights to Cuba”. In this case the automated algorithm was actually helpful because we found a cheap flight to Cuba, but at the same time this is pretty scary when you think about it. #unboundeq
