Confirmation Bias The Skewed Data Threat

Bias: Giving weight only to evidence that supports preconceived hypotheses.

Risk: Training models on narrow, incomplete demographics, generating biased outputs that alienate users.

Overconfidence The Verification Failure

Bias: Believing past success guarantees future accuracy.

Risk: Failing to implement third-party fact-checking on AI outputs, exposing the organization to deepfakes and misinformation.
