The often underestimated piece to successful Artificial Intelligence

The first generation of AI has picked up on human biases. Among many disturbing cases of biased AI systems resulting in discriminatory outcomes, the most heart-breaking ones were cases involving unfair elongation of prison sentence, unfair credit card decision, and home appraisal outcomes. So, how does bias get into AI systems? While this is by no means an excuse, it does point to the key problem -- almost no focus was given to ensuring the moral, social, and responsible aspect of AI- often termed Ethical AI. A 2019 Gartner study reported that by 2022, 30% of the companies will invest in explainable ethical AI, from almost none in 2019.
