Search engines guarantee to deliver accurate results based on our queries. Yet, increasingly, evidence suggests that algorithms tend to amplify existing biases, creating a scenario where privileged viewpoints dominate the search landscape. This phenomenon, known as algorithmic bias, erodes the neutrality that is fundamental to information retrieval
Algorithmic Bias: The Perils of Search Engine Monopolies
Search engines influence the flow of information, shaping our understanding of the world. But, their algorithms, often shrouded in secrecy, can perpetuate and amplify existing societal biases. This bias, stemming from the data used to train these algorithms, can lead to discriminatory consequences. For instance, a search for "best doctors" may freq
