question 16 of 25
which scenario is most likely to be the result of algorithmic bias?

a. a facial-recognition system generates a false match for a woman of color.

b. a smartphone doesnt recognize its owner because of a new hairstyle.

c. a person doesnt get a job after an interview because they dont have the right skills or qualifications.

d. a person in a group photo is tagged on a friends social-media post.

Explanation:

Algorithmic bias refers to systematic and repeatable errors in a computer system that create unfair outcomes, often due to biased data or design. Option A involves a facial - recognition system (a computer - based system) having a false match specifically for a woman of color. This is likely due to bias in the system's training data or algorithm that affects people of certain racial/ethnic groups. Option B is due to a change in the owner's appearance (new hairstyle), not bias. Option C is a result of lack of skills/qualifications, not algorithmic bias. Option D is a normal social - media tagging process, not related to algorithmic bias.

Answer:

A. A facial - recognition system generates a false match for a woman of color.
