Feedback Loop

What is a Feedback Loop in Machine Learning?

A feedback loop in ML arises when a model’s predictions change user behavior or data collection, which then retrains or influences the next model—potentially amplifying bias, gaming, or error.

Recommendation and content systems are classic examples; generative assistants can create sycophancy loops.
