"#Amsterdam followed every piece of advice in the #ResponsibleAI playbook. It debiased its system when early tests showed ethnic #bias and brought on academics and consultants to shape its approach, ultimately choosing an explainable algorithm over more opaque alternatives. The city even consulted a participatory council of welfare recipients.
[Yet] the system continued to be plagued by biases.
[…] As political pressure mounted, officials killed the project."

Worried about bias? Why has Africa's story been missing? We encourage Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger to tell their stories, build archives, train journalists, and reclaim how the world sees Africa."

Excellent keynote in the #SemDH2025 workshop by Laura Hollink on Cultural Bias in Linked Open Data. Laura is addressing all bias related aspects in cultural heritage items itself, in the data representing it, the data schemata, vocabularies, and ontologies on which the data are based, as well as in the knowledge representation languages used to create the schemata.

"… most #llm models reproduce stereotypical gender associations and systematically recommend equally qualified women for lower-wage roles, indicating occupational segregation.
… These biases stem from entrenched gender patterns in the training data as well as from an agreeableness bias induced during the reinforcement learning from human feedback stage
.…AI-driven hiring may perpetuate biases in the labor market and have implications for #fairness and diversity within firms"

“BBC News [..] have made repeated choices to dehumanise #Palestinians & to unquestioningly publish Israeli propaganda. They have made a choice to [..] position Israeli lives as inherently worth more than Palestinian lives”
