== <span style="color: #FFFFFF;">Remembering</span> == * '''Algorithm''' β A set of rules or a "Recipe" used by a computer to make a decision or solve a problem. * '''Algorithmic Bias''' β When an algorithm produces results that are systematically prejudiced against certain groups of people. * '''Black Box''' β A system where the "Input" and "Output" are known, but the internal logic is too complex for a human to understand. * '''COMPAS''' β A famous algorithm used by US judges to predict "Recidivism" (the chance a criminal will break the law again). * '''Feedback Loop''' β When an algorithm's decision creates data that "Proves" the algorithm was right (e.g., sending more police to a neighborhood makes them find more crime, which makes the algorithm send more police). * '''Algorithmic Accountability''' β The principle that companies and governments must be responsible for the real-world impact of their code. * '''Proxy Variable''' β A piece of data that "Stands in" for something else (e.g., using "Zip Code" as a secret way to track "Race"). * '''Explainability (XAI)''' β The field of AI focused on making "Black Box" decisions understandable to humans. * '''Automated Inequality''' β The use of tech to manage and punish the poor while providing "Fast lanes" for the rich. </div> <div style="background-color: #006400; color: #FFFFFF; padding: 20px; border-radius: 8px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
