Can Computers be Racist? Only if a Person Develops the Racist Algorithms.

Dr. Latanya Sweeney explains how Racism gets Automatically Baked into the Algorithms that Quietly Shape Our World. Computers like children, are not born or in the case of the computer, created, racist, prejudice, sexist, hateful, etc. The person(s) who develop the Artificial Intelligence – A.I., i.e., Machine Learning – ML, Cognitive Computing, Natural Language Processing – NLP, etc., algorithms can either code the computer to be Racist, Prejudice, Sexist, Hateful, etc., or not. This algorithm forms the very foundation upon how that A.I. operates from that time forward, just as parents, teachers, communities, and friends can form the foundation early on, for how you operate, interact, behave, etc.
