Artificial intelligence is racist, sexist because of data it's fed

Artificial intelligence is "shockingly" racist and sexist, a study has revealed. Researchers looked at a range of systems and datasets and found examples where AI had provided inaccurate information for women and minorities. In one example, the team from Massachusetts Institute of Technology looked at an income prediction system and discovered it was twice as likely to misclassify female employees as low-income and male employee as high-income. However, the team was able to adjust the system to make sure it was less biased. When researchers increased the dataset by a factor of 10, they found the mistakes decreased by 40 percent.
