Can We Ever Remove Bias From Artificial Intelligence?

The algorithms meant to make life easy could further divide us if we're not paying attention The current moment is asking us to evaluate almost every systemic issue in our society. While it might be uncomfortable, the only way through it is to look at the systems that control who wins and who loses and ask, "are they biased?" It's convenient to think that our work in technology is above these issues. A lot of folks in tech do this work to change the world or help communities in need. But just like the rest of society, we need to take this moment of self-reflection seriously, lest our failures are judged by the next generation as harshly as we're judging our elders now.
