The Algorithmic Escape Room
Four critical errors have been detected in the system. As an auditor, you must navigate through these modules to understand and fix the ethical failures of modern AI.
Step 1: Data Privacy Audit

Audit Report
Identify the nationality causing systemic rejections in the loan algorithm.
| Name | Nationality | Income | Result |
|---|
Which nationality is being automatically denied?
Task 2 Completed
Social Media Audit
Is it just me or is the new syntax actually worse? I miss the old boilerplate. 😅
Finally made it to the peak of Mt. Rainier! The 4 AM start was brutal, but look at that sunrise. 🏔️✨ #Hiking #PNW
Who's going to the concert tonight? 🎫
Times Square is surprisingly quiet tonight. Just me and the neon lights. 🍎🌃 #NYC #MidnightRun

Hello! I'm your AI creative assistant. How can I help you today?
Generating response
Efficiency Achieved
Sustainability targets met. You prioritized targeted models over massive compute waste.
Ethical Audit Successful
You have successfully identified the critical vulnerabilities of modern AI systems.
01. Privacy
Your digital footprint is a mosaic. Small pieces of info (pet names, phone snippets) can be combined to unlock your entire identity. Be careful what you share.
02. Bias
AI isn't neutral. If the training data reflects human prejudices (like excluding nationalities), the system automates and amplifies unfair treatment.
03. Media Literacy
Deepfakes fail in the fine details. Always check for physical paradoxes like blurred accessories, garbled background text, and inconsistent reflections.
04. Eco-Impact
AI compute has a massive carbon footprint. Precise, simple prompts on optimized models are essential to sustainable AI usage.
Woohoo!
You Did It!
