It seems that just as quickly as Artificial Intelligence systems
show promise in transforming how we work, live, drive, and
even get treated by law enforcement, scholars and others
question the ethics that surround these autonomous decision-
making systems. The ethics of AI focuses on whether or not
decisions are being made that discriminate against people on the
basis of race, religion, sex, or other criteria.
AI's profound bias problems have become public in recent
years, thanks to researchers like Joy Buolamwini and Timnit
Gebru, authors of a
2018 study
that showed that face-recognition algorithms nearly always
identified white males but recognized black women only two-
thirds of the time. Consequences of that flaw can be serious if
the algorithms cause law enforcement to discriminate when
identifying suspects, or doctors use the algorithms to decide
who to treat.
The challenge for developers is to remove bias from AI, which
is complicated because the system depends upon the data that
goes into the system. Training data must be vast, diverse, and
reflective of the population so that the AI system has a strong
sample.
Use this forum to discuss two examples of situations where bias
can skew the data causing an AI system to discriminate against
certain groups of people. How can fairness be built into the AI
systems? Are the advantages that AI bring to a system worth
the bias, if uncorrected?
