Artificial Intelligence as a Weapon for Hate and Racism

The stunning advancement of artificial intelligence and machine learning has brought advances in society. These technologies have improved medicine and how quickly doctors can diagnose disease, for example. IBM's AI platform Watson helps reduce water waste in drought stricken areas. AI even entertains us--the more you use Netflix, the more it learns what your viewing preferences are and makes suggestions based on what you like to watch. However, there is a very dark side to AI, and it's worrying many social scientists and some in the tech industry.
