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.👇🏾
FOUR things to know about race and gender bias in algorithms: 1. The bias starts in the data 2. The algorithms don't create the bias but they do transmit it 3. There are a huge number of other biases. Race and gender bias are just the most obvious 4. It's fixable! 🧵👇

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

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!

Some great advice here on how to get more female students into tech careers. Also some worrying stats... “only 8.3% of a sample of US consumers could name a famous woman in tech; that fell to 4% when Siri or Alexa were discounted” #womenintech
