Algorithm Watchdog

Expert workshop on algorithm watchdogs and visualizing bias in search engines Users put their trusts in search engines. Biases in search results, therefore, have introduced negative impacts to users, from manipulating their knowledge when learning a new topic to introducing political polarization in society. Given that it is difficult to remove bias completely, one approach to address this is to improve user awareness of bias in search engines. Eight prototypes of bias-aware search engines... Read More

We envision that this watchdog will initially operate as an informal forum to discuss current problems that arise from the use of algorithms, especially those that raise privacy,... Read More
