AI isn't biased. We are! – turalt – Medium

There is a persistent myth that bias is something we can "remove" from AI. Bias isn't something that we can, or even should, eliminate from AI. The idea that there could even be a bias-free AI is itself part of a psychological tendency (another bias, in fact) called "naive realism". Naive realism is our common-sense social tendency to think that we see the world objectively, and, worse, that it is the people who disagree with us that are biased. The myth of a bias-free AI comes directly from this bias. I'm not minimizing the appalling biases found in some AI systems (see: the AI beauty contest fail, the MIT/Stanford study of gender and skin-type bias in AI, and the machine learning system that amplified gender biases in images for examples).
