Overview

Artificial Intelligence has become the cornerstone of modern technology. From predicting consumer behavior and automating healthcare diagnostics to guiding autonomous vehicles and optimizing financial markets, AI is no longer a distant concept-it is embedded deeply into the infrastructure of daily life. Its promise is immense: faster decisions, greater efficiency, and the ability to uncover patterns in data that would elude human perception. Yet, amid this transformative power lies a hidden and often overlooked threat: algorithmic blind spots. Algorithmic blind spots are the unseen, unintended, and sometimes dangerous flaws in AI systems. They occur when the models fail to account for certain inputs, populations, or scenarios, often silently and without warning. Unlike conventional software bugs, blind spots are not always obvious-they lurk within the data, the design of the algorithms, or the deployment environment, waiting for the precise combination of factors to reveal themselves. When they do, the consequences can range from minor inaccuracies to catastrophic errors that affect lives, businesses, and society at large. This book is a journey into the underexplored corners of AI. It examines how biases-whether human, cultural, or historical-become encoded in machines, how technical limitations and overfitting can mislead, and how the AI lifecycle itself can inadvertently create vulnerabilities. Through a combination of theoretical insights, real-world case studies, and practical tools for detection and mitigation, this work highlights the subtle yet critical gaps in AI systems that are often ignored in the race for technological advancement. More than just exposing flaws, this book emphasizes responsibility and vigilance. It introduces strategies to detect, measure, and mitigate blind spots, from stress testing and scenario simulations to human-centered AI design and continuous monitoring. The goal is not merely to critique AI, but to illuminate a path toward systems that are trustworthy, explainable, and resilient, capable of augmenting human intelligence without repeating its mistakes. As AI continues to reshape society, understanding its blind spots is not optional-it is imperative. Whether you are a researcher, practitioner, policymaker, or simply an engaged observer of technology, this book provides a framework for recognizing the hidden pitfalls of AI and for fostering a future in which intelligent systems can serve all people fairly, safely, and effectively.
