Most artificial intelligence is 'inherently biased'

The key message from a new policy report from the University of Manchester is that future-state artificial intelligence needs to be socially responsible. This is because the current path of development of new artificial intelligence technology has been shown, through experimentation, to contain bias. For example, Joy Buolamwini has challenged inherent ethnic and female bias in many facial recognition systems. This issue of bias becomes serious when used in the business setting and by governments, such as when assessing welfare claims. Here many developed systems can be discriminatory.
