Algorithms can remove bias blind spots, study shows

Algorithms remove the bias blind spot because you see algorithms more like you see other people than yourself.

Algorithms are a staple of modern life. People rely on algorithmic recommendations to wade through deep catalogs and find the best movies, routes, information, products, people and investments. Because people train algorithms on their decisions – for example, algorithms that make recommendations on e-commerce and social media sites – algorithms learn and codify human biases.
