, Introduction
Algorithms are seen as instructions set to achieve a certain task or goal. It is often
seen in computers devices. It can also be seen during the baking process. What procedures are
used for baking a cake? On the other hand, decision-making is choosing what to go with or
selecting after gathering information. The decision made should be problem-solving.
Introduce the topic of algorithms
Algorithms are instructions that computers possess when selecting a certain candidate for a
role. It has all the procedures that a person is supposed to go through if they are to be selected for
a certain role or job opportunity. It, therefore, helps to know which candidate is best for a certain
position and which is not. The concept sometimes operates as a step-by-step approach for
different calculations and can be adopted in data processing, calculations, and also automated
reasoning. Irrespective of whether one is aware or not, the algorithms continue becoming a
crucial aspect of our daily ubiquitous kind of lives. (Lonny, 2021).
Decisions made based on algorithms have the potential to introduce not only
amplification but also eliminate the biases of discriminations associated with the decision-
making process. However, such a concept is mainly dependent on the deployed software and the
representatives and quality of the associated underlying data that is also used under the aspect of
the algorithm. In profiling, algorithms are employed in finding the correct correlations that exist
between differing datasets. Such algorithms can also be used in making a great range of
decisions, including the predictions of potential behaviors to control access to a particular
service.
