AI’s Hidden Bias: Uncovering the Flawed Algorithms Fueling Misinformation and the Researchers Holding Tech Accountable In the age of artificial intelligence, algorithms shape public opinion, influence elections, and steer newsfeeds across the globe. But beneath the promise of objectivity lies a critical issue: AI’s hidden bias—a subtle but pervasive problem that has already fueled misinformation, deepened societal divides, and undermined trust in technology. Recent investigations reveal how flawed AI systems, built on biased data and unexamined assumptions, amplify echo chambers and accelerate the spread of falsehoods. What makes this controversy particularly alarming isn’t just the technical oversight—it’s a broader accountability gap. Who is responsible when an algorithm distorts reality? And what steps are those holding tech accountable taking to expose and correct these hidden biases? ### The Flaws Beneath the Surface: How Biased AI Spreads Misinformation
