Algorithmic bias (in research tools)
Also called algorithmic bias
Algorithmic bias is systematic distortion in an AI tool's outputs, favouring certain groups, languages, or perspectives over others, a real risk when using AI for literature synthesis, since underrepresented scholarship can be under-surfaced.
In context
You'll usually need this when relying on an AI tool for literature synthesis and checking whether it's under-surfacing certain scholarship.
