Question

question 6 of 10
which statement about algorithmic bias is most accurate?

a. programmers measure job performance with the same standards
used to measure computer performance.

b. if programmers arent careful when writing algorithms to measure
job performance, it can result in people losing their jobs unfairly.

c. computers carefully evaluate and measure job performance so
that no one is ever fired unfairly.

d. if people want to get jobs they are qualified for, they must learn to
write their own programs to review résumés.

Explanation:

• Option A: Comparing job performance standards to computer performance standards is not related to algorithmic bias.
• Option B: Algorithmic bias can occur if programmers create algorithms with flaws, leading to unfair job loss, which aligns with the concept of algorithmic bias.
• Option C: Computers don't inherently ensure fair job performance evaluation; algorithms can have biases, so this is incorrect.
• Option D: Learning to write programs to review resumes is not related to algorithmic bias in job performance evaluation.

Answer:

B. If programmers aren't careful when writing algorithms to measure job performance, it can result in people losing their jobs unfairly.
