### AI overview

The article describes five signs that a team may be dysfunctional without recognizing it: absence of trust, fear of conflict, lack of commitment, avoidance of accountability, and inattention to results. It explains how these problems build on one another and can be overlooked when a team appears harmonious or productive.

### Source excerpt

Dysfunctional without knowing: 5 signs that your team might have a problem In the last 10+ years, I have worked in and with many teams. And I was fortunate to experience working in many fantastic teams. Teams where people cared for each other, trusted each other and were committed to deliver the best results together.

### AI overview

The article examines algorithmic fairness and argues that algorithms trained on historical human data can facilitate illegal discrimination and reinforce social prejudices. It uses targeted loan advertising, Google autocomplete, and predictive policing as examples, though the supplied text is incomplete.

### Source excerpt

In 2014 the White House commissioned a 90-day study that culminated in a report (pdf) on the state of "big data" and related technologies. The authors give many recommendations, including this central warning. Warning: algorithms can facilitate illegal discrimination! Here's a not-so-imaginary example of the problem. A bank wants people to take loans with high interest rates, and it also serves ads for these loans. A modern idea is to use an algorithm to decide, based on the sliver of known information about a user visiting a website, which advertisement to present that gives the largest chance of the user clicking on it.
