Note by the author:
Don't feel bad if you download the eBook for free. It is a critical topic, and I would be delighted if you would look into it more deeply. We need to make more people aware of the issue - especially people who develop ML algorithms (algorithmic bias) and commission them.
Let's learn more about our human biases to make less biased conclusions in the future.
A world with less bias is a better world.
