Left unchecked, artificial intelligence can become prejudiced all on its own

If artificial intelligence were to run the world, it wouldn't be so bad -- it could objectively make decisions on exactly the kinds of things humans tend to screw up. But if we're gonna hand over the reins to AI, it's gotta be fair. AI trained on datasets that were annotated or curated by people tend to learn the same racist, sexist, or otherwise bigoted biases of those people. Slowly, programmers seem to be correcting for these biases. But even if we succeed at keeping our own prejudice out of our code, it seems that AI is now capable of developing it all on its own.
