Will robots be SEXIST? Scientists are trying to reprogram misogynist machines to take out their bias

Programmers are trying to teach machines to be less sexist by helping them separate words from stereotypes. While computers may be neutral, unconscious human biases can be reflected in machine learning algorithms to analyse language. Such biases have been shown to have an impact before, where basic programs sorting job applications could end up discriminating against applicants based on key words. But one team in the US is trying to break the bias. Computers may be neutral, but unconscious biases can be reflected in machine learning algorithms to analyse language.
