Description: Bias in decision-making refers to the influence that prejudices or inclinations have on the outcomes of decisions made by artificial intelligence (AI) systems. This phenomenon can arise from various sources, including the data used to train AI models, the design choices of algorithms, and the inherent assumptions of developers. Bias can manifest in multiple ways, such as discrimination in job candidate selection, credit allocation, or crime identification. The relevance of this issue lies in its ability to affect fairness and justice in society, as automated decisions can perpetuate or even amplify existing inequalities. Therefore, it is crucial to address bias in AI from an ethical perspective, ensuring that systems are fair and representative. Identifying and mitigating bias is not only a technical challenge but also a moral imperative that requires collaboration from experts in various disciplines, including ethics, sociology, and technology. In an increasingly AI-dependent world, understanding and managing bias in decision-making is essential for building systems that benefit all individuals, not just a few.
