Artificial Intelligence & Bias
In the future, Artificial Intelligence can be utilized to eliminate inherent human biases that often influence important decisions surrounding employment, government policy, and even policing. At the event, Professor Iris Bohnet stated that every person has biases that inform their decisions. These biases can affect whether a candidate for a job is chosen or not. As a result, Bohnet suggested that by using algorithms, employers could choose the best candidates by using AI to focus on the candidate's qualifications rather than by basing decisions on gender, race, age or other variables. However, the panel also discussed the fact that even algorithms can have bias.
