Ethical hacking can improve AI bias - Digital Journal

Researchers have called upon the community of ethical hackers to work together to help prevent the looming'crisis of trust' that is set to impact artificial intelligence. Specifically, the researchers are putting forward the need fora global hacker'red team', macheted by the incentive of rewards, for hunting algorithmic biases. This type of activity is needed to help reduce the so-termed'tech-lash' that artificial intelligence faces unless firm measures are taken to increase public trust. The reason for proposing this issue is because technology sector is facing concerns that underpin advances in artificial intelligence, such as the progress with driverless cars and autonomous drones. There is also concern with aspects like social media algorithms that spread misinformation and provoke political turmoil.
