Twitter Announces 'Cash Bounty Competition' To Find Algorithm Bias

Twitter announced up to $3,500 cash "bounty" on July 30 to users and researchers to figure the algorithm bias on the online platform. According to the media mogul, this is "the industry's first algorithmic bias bounty competition.” This initiative came ahead of the growing concerns regarding automated algorithm systems, which otherwise being neutral formulates racial and other forms of bias. The messaging platform found "unequal treatment based on demographic differences."
