Abstract

The term 'bias' in computer science and HCI scholarship has become confused. Using the is/ought distinction, this poster attempts to clarify 'bias' as deviations from truth from 'bias as deviations from fairness. The poster also briefly discusses possible implications of confusing the term and danger of being inconsistent or searching for tech solutionism.
