Google adds AI fairness lessons to its machine learning crash course

Bias in AI is a truly worrisome issue. We've seen algorithms that are racist, sexist, and every other negative -ist you can think of. Even more troubling: if we eliminate all the human bias in our training data, an AI might still learn to be bigoted all on its own. That's a concern researchers across the world are grappling with as we move toward a future in which AI is everywhere. One bright spot: Google, a leader in AI tech, just added an AI fairness module to its crash course on machine learning.
