The document discusses how language shapes culture and reality, and how language has traditionally been androcentric and defined women by their marital status. It notes that words matter and provides examples of moving to more inclusive language like "firefighter" instead of "fireman". The document cautions that what we teach AI and the data it is trained on will impact what rules govern its output, and suggests we should consider whether AI should be designed to have human values like gender or religion. It discusses the importance of building unbiased AI to support less biased human decision making.
