The Need for Inclusion in AI and Machine Learning - InformationWeek

Imagine if something not designed with you or anyone like you in mind was the driving force of how regular interactions permeate your life. Imagine it controls what products are marketed to you, how you can use certain consumer products (or not), influences your interactions with law enforcement, and even determines your health care diagnoses and medical decisions. There are problems brewing at the core of artificial intelligence and machine learning (ML). AI algorithms are essentially opinions embedded in code. AI can create, formalize, or exacerbate biases by not including diverse perspectives during ideation, testing, and implementation.
