question 15 of 25
which scenario is an example of algorithmic bias?

a. an e-reader does not give users the option of translating text into
other languages.

b. a software program for job seekers filters out those who were
born before 1945.

c. a gaming system has very small buttons that people with large
hands have trouble using.

d. a website’s designer decides not to include a text-to-speech
option on the home page.

Explanation:

Algorithmic bias refers to unfair discrimination in algorithm - based systems. Option B's software program filters job seekers based on birth year (before 1945), which is a form of age - based discrimination in an algorithmic system. Option A is about a lack of a translation feature, Option C is a physical design issue (button size), and Option D is a design choice about a text - to - speech option, none of which are algorithm - based discriminatory biases.

Answer:

B. A software program for job seekers filters out those who were born before 1945.
