Media Effects
Algorithmic bias refers to systematic and unfair discrimination that occurs when algorithms produce results that reflect the prejudices of their creators or the data they were trained on. This can lead to skewed outcomes in various applications, particularly in social media and search engines, where these biases can reinforce existing inequalities and amplify polarization. Understanding algorithmic bias is crucial for developing digital media literacy skills to critically analyze how information is curated and presented online.
