TED: The moral bias behind your search results | Andreas ekstrom

The video explores why students prefer Google, highlighting the belief in unbiased results. It delves into the complexity of search queries, distinguishing between isolated facts and knowledge. Two case studies are presented: Michelle Obama's search result manipulation in 2009 and Anders Behring Breivik's in 2011. The video discusses Google's intervention in the former but not the latter, emphasizing the role of personal bias in algorithms. The conclusion calls for a tighter integration of humanities and technology to address these biases.
