To hold algorithms accountable for such decisions as well as to determine the underlying factors, researchers have turned to a methodological tool known as the audit study. Quite a few studies on algorithmic decision-making have made strong claims about the causality between algorithms and biased decisions. Multiple protective measures have also been enacted against the discriminatory and biased algorithmic decision-making practices. Nevertheless, they are persistent …
