One thing I really appreciate about @TheConversationUS (and hope you do too) is that our expert authors often educate me about issues long before they surface as crises in most popular media.
Case in point: back in 2015, we published this article about algorithmic bias. https://theconversation.com/big-data-algorithms-can-discriminate-and-its-not-clear-what-to-do-about-it-45849
If you think this is valuable journalism, I hope you'll support us.
