human bias

As humans we all have different forms of bias in the way we think and acts. Some of these are based on fundamental cognitive processes, some personal experiences, and many a mix of the two. Cognitive biases include automation bias, which can lead to an over reliance on machine outputs or decisions. The term also includes various forms of prejudice including racial or gender sterotypes. The latter are often embeddd into past human decision making, for example in penal sentencing or credit assessment, which are then used as training data; this is one of the sources of bias in machine learning,
