The Lack of Women Data Scientists Hurts Artificial Intelligence - Ms. Magazine

New advancements in data science often spark dire predictions about how powerful new technologies will transform the world. Yet, as writer Stephen Shankland reminds us, technologies like Open AI's new Chat GPT (short for chat-based Generative Pretrained Transformer) are created by humans. Chat GPT is a chatbot that is "trained with human assistance to deliver more useful, better dialog." The people assisting that training--those who create the models and assemble the data used to train chatbots--make a difference in the technologies that will go on to shape our lives. Computer scientist Joy Buolamwini, an early critic of racial bias in facial recognition software, said technology should "be more attuned to the people who use it and the people it's used on."
