FORCE: Machine CultureUNIVERSE: Recommendation Algorithm InternetCLUSTER: Algorithm Culture

Systematic, often unintentional unfairness baked into an algorithm's outputs, usually inherited from skewed training data or design choices rather than any deliberate intent to discriminate.

REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE

LORE & ORIGIN

Emerged as a standard term in tech-criticism and policy discourse once algorithmic decision-making expanded into hiring, lending, moderation, and other consequential domains.
