AI can contain gender bias, leading to potential disadvantages for women, expert says

Justine Bateman told Fox News Digital the increased use of artificial intelligence makes her sad because she feels it takes away from genuine human connection. Some experts have raised concerns that artificial intelligence (AI) could have its own gender gap if more women aren't involved in its development and dataset analysis. "It's not just AI, but I would say engineering as a whole," Dr. Georgianna Shea, chief technologist at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies' Center on Cyber and Technology Innovation (CCTI), told Fox News Digital. "Whenever there's any type of engineering process for anything, you don't want to end up with bias-based engineers." Adding to the debate, Melinda French Gates, co-chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, recently said in an interview that she was concerned there was a lack of women working in the field of artificial intelligence, which she said made her nervous about potential biases in platforms.
