which scenario is an example of algorithmic bias?

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

option on the home page.

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

Explanation:

Algorithmic bias occurs when an algorithm (software program) discriminates based on certain characteristics. Option D involves a software program filtering job seekers born before 1945, which is a bias based on age (a protected characteristic) in the algorithm's decision - making. Options A, B, and C are about design choices or lack of features, not algorithmic bias.

Answer:

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