Data Bias Investigation Answer Key

Students examine a fictional company dataset used to train an AI hiring tool and identify where bias may already exist in the data. The worksheet provides percentages and notes for different employee groups, and learners answer multiple-choice and open-ended questions about how the data might influence AI decisions. Students also consider how biased datasets can lead to unfair outcomes and suggest steps to make the data more balanced. This activity teaches students to evaluate data critically and understand how real-world biases can influence AI.
