The System Didn’t Fail. It Did Exactly What It Was Designed To Do.
📰 Medium · Data Science
Understand how systems are designed to work and why they may produce undesirable outcomes, and learn to critically evaluate their performance
Action Steps
- Analyze the design of a system to identify its intended goals and behaviors
- Evaluate the system's performance to determine if it is functioning as intended
- Consider the potential unintended consequences of a system's design
- Assess the data used to train and test the system to ensure it is representative and unbiased
- Apply critical thinking to determine if the system's behavior is a result of its design or an external factor
