Frankenstein Bias

As a computer scientist, I don't take it lightly when I say that computer programs are failing us at an alarming rate. There was that time a Google image search program accidentally thought Black people were gorillas. Or that time Microsoft built an AI chat-bot that became a Hitler fan in less than a day. Also, that time Amazon built a resume ranking program that had no interest in hiring women. Why does this kind of head-scratching, potentially life-altering, but also seemingly avoidable outcome happen so frequently with computer programs? I think it has something to do with something I call Frankenstein bias.
