Machine learning and bias

Bias is a prejudice in favor or against a person, group, or thing that is considered to be unfair. But as machine learning becomes more of an integral part of our lives, the question becomes will it include bias? In this article, I'll dig into this question, its impact, and look at ways of eliminating bias from machine learning models. Machine learning has shown great promise in powering self-driving cars, accurately recognizing cancer in radiographs, and predicting our interests based upon past behavior (to name just a few). But with the benefits from machine learning, there are also challenges.
