If you’re playing in the arena of machine learning (ML) and data science, you’re going to run into some hurdles. You can count on meeting two challenges: algorithmic bias and model and data drift. They’re like the tricky questions in a pop quiz – you might not see them coming, but you’d better be prepared to handle them.

Algorithmic bias can creep into our models, and when it does, it’s not a good look. It can lead to unfair results, and, quite frankly, it’s just not cool. But don’t worry – we’re going to tackle it head on and talk about ways to mitigate it.
