Bias detection tool incorrectly flags factual reporting as 'cherry-picking'

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A frontend engineer developed a bias detection tool called Biassemble, initially intended to identify cognitive biases in personal stories. When tested on a factual narrative about a woman named Anna, the tool incorrectly flagged "cherry-picking" because the user repeatedly answered "no info" to interpretive questions. Subsequent versions of the tool were refined to better handle factual data, explicitly defining what does not constitute evidence of bias and adding confidence gating to prevent unwarranted conclusions.

    My Bias Detector Found "Cherry-Picking" in the Answer "No Info"

    <p>A few months ago I started a small pet project called Biassemble: feed it a personal story, ask a few follow-up questions, and have it flag possible cognitive biases in how the person reasoned about what happened.<br /> Nothing groundbreaking. I'd been working as a frontend en…
