What Is Data Mining and How Does It Work? - Discrimination and Privacy in the Information Society - page 41

data may be present in the database. Surprisingly, the blind application of data
mining may also lead to discrimination, when data mining methods start over-
generalizing negative properties. The different threats by data mining to privacy
and anti-discrimination will be discussed in depth in the next chapters, as well as
techniques to detect and avoid undesirable side-effects of applying data mining.
