In discussions on AI ethics, the term 'algorithmic bias' most accurately refers to which of the following?

Algorithmic bias means systematic and repeatable errors in an AI system that lead to unfair outcomes for particular groups of people. It usually stems from skewed training data or flawed design choices, and it is a fairness issue rather than a matter of speed, vendor choice or encryption.

  1. ASystematic and repeatable errors in an AI system that produce unfair outcomes for certain groupsCorrect
  2. BThe time an algorithm takes to process a large dataset
  3. CThe preference of a company to use only in-house software
  4. DThe encryption of data stored by an AI model

Explanation

Algorithmic bias arises when training data or design choices cause an AI system to treat certain groups unfairly in a consistent way. The other options describe processing speed, vendor preference and data security, which are unrelated to fairness.
