Algorithmic accountability
The principle that the people and organisations who build and deploy an algorithm are answerable for its effects.
Algorithmic bias
A systematic error in an algorithm that produces unfair outcomes, often by favouring one group over another.
Black box
A system whose internal workings cannot be easily inspected or explained. Many neural networks are black boxes: they can be accurate while no one can fully explain how they reached a particular output.
Values and ethics
Values are the things a person or group holds to be important, and ethics are the systems of reasoning used to decide what is right, fair, or just. Together they guide how people judge and act.
