Prejudiced Futures? Algorithmic Bias in Time Series Forecasting and Its Ethical Implications
带偏见的未来?时间序列预测中的算法偏倚及其伦理含义
Time series prediction algorithms are increasingly central to decision-making in high-stakes domains such as healthcare, energy management, and economic planning. Yet, these systems often inherit and amplify biases embedded in historical data, flawed problem specifications, and socio-technical design decisions. This paper critically examines the ethical foundations and mitigation strategies for algorithmic bias in time series prediction. We outline how predictive models,…
