These mathematical models, often created with good intentions, can quickly spiral out of control when left unmonitored. The consequences of such unchecked algorithms can be severe, leading to discrimination, inequality, and injustice. Unchecked algorithms have the potential to perpetuate and even exacerbate existing biases and discrimination. When these algorithms are built using biased data or flawed assumptions, they can unfairly target certain groups or individuals, further entrenching societal inequalities.
