Political science
[edit]Liberalization in autocracies is more likely to succeed in countries with the advantage of a better starting point concerning political institutions, GDP, and education. These more developed countries can also carry out key reforms more rapidly, and are able to do so even in areas with no initial advantage.[1] PzychoPat (talk) 16:04, 12 December 2022 (UTC)

Uh Oh
[edit]1. There is no such thing as AI, and
2. Even if there were, statements like "... representative, and free from biases ..." are innately paradoxical, humans being innately biased. Choose one, abandon the other. They're mutually exclusive. Do you want "free from bias" (unrepresentative) or "representative" (biased)? 122.151.210.84 (talk) 16:45, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
3. I'd like to add that the source doesn't explicitely mention "Another study found that a hiring algorithm was biased against women" in any shape or way, it points out the unbalance in classes, but does not provide balancing from the sample data, which is needed before training a machine learning model. Please remove the source or change the paragraph.

Etymology section false
[edit]The etymology section suggests that the etymology is based on the synoptic gospels, when clearly it is based on the gospel of Matthew.
There is a confused conflation between allegations and analysis of the gospel texts and the effect, and the etymology.
The etymology section therefore needs rewriting. Coalsoffire (talk) 06:02, 2 December 2023 (UTC)
