Prejudice Against The Machine: Impact Of Chatbot Identity Disclosure

Posted on April 16, 2021February 1, 2023 by neilbendle

Whenever technology progresses a major question arises: What can technology do as well, or better, than humans? Since the luddites, and probably before, people reacted to technology with hostility.

Bias And Algorithms

Posted on March 6, 2020September 29, 2021 by neilbendle
