A study published Thursday in Science has found that a health care risk-prediction algorithm, a major example of tools used on more than 200 million people in the U.S., demonstrated racial bias ...

Here we will look at real-world examples, good and bad, that illustrate the benefits of transparent AI and the dangers of obscure or unexplainable algorithms.
