Question
The algorithmic dilemmas the guide names
Answer
Bias and fairness; accountability; transparency and black boxes; erosion or loss of human judgement.
Question
Where does algorithmic bias come from?
Answer
The training data, who is missing from it, stand-in measures, and the target chosen — not from a biased rule.
Question
Why is removing a protected field not enough?
Answer
Other fields stand in for it — postcode, school, a gap in work — so the model rebuilds it.
Question
Why is transparency alone not enough?
Answer
Knowing why you were rejected is useless if nobody is obliged to reconsider. Accountability is a separate requirement.
