Systemic Algorithmic Harms

Written by Kinjal Dave on Data & Society Points.

“Because both ‘stereotype’ and ‘bias’ are theories of individual perception, our discussions do not adequately prioritize naming and locating the systemic harms of the technologies we build. When we stop overusing the word ‘bias,’ we can begin to use language that has been designed to theorize at the level of structural oppression, both in terms of identifying the scope of the harm and who experiences it.”
