Summary: The following piece describes how artificial intelligence (AI) is being used to manage greater aspects of our economy. There is risk that algorithms can magnify human biases. Bias in this piece is defined when outcomes to one group disproportionally bears a negative impact of an algorithm.

Other mitigation processes suggested include bias audits, and best practices guidelines such as asking questions about the impact of the algorithm or product before creating it
