In the AI revolution, bias is the new breach. How CIO's must manage risk

We have seen it too many times before. A major security or privacy breach creates a crisis for an enterprise. The CIO works around the clock only to be rewarded with a pink-slip and an uncertain career. Researchers from MIT and Stanford University tested three commercially released facial-analysis programs from major technology companies and will present findings that the software contains clear skin-type and gender biases. Facial recognition programs are good at recognizing white males but fail embarrassingly with females especially the darker the skin tone. The news broke last week but will be presented in full at the upcoming Conference on Fairness, Accountability, and Transparency.
