Apple Card controversy: Artificial intelligence learned its gender bias from Silicon Valley, tech expert says
Catalyst president and CEO Lorraine Hariton, who works with Fortune 500 companies to eliminate bias in their technology and systems, gives her thoughts on the controversy surrounding gender and the new Apple Card's algorithm. She says artificial intelligence can become biased if leaders and teams aren't diverse and inclusive. The Apple Card gender bias allegation is a lesson for Silicon Valley, which has suffered from sexism issues for a long time, according to one tech expert. Apple made headlines Sunday when the artificial intelligence algorithm behind its new Apple Card, in partnership with Goldman Sachs, was accused of gender discrimination after Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak and another male tech entrepreneur said they got much higher lines of credit for their card applications than their wives did. Catalyst president and CEO Lorraine Hariton, who works with Fortune 500 companies to eliminate bias in technology and systems, joined FOX Business' Liz Claman on Friday and said she was not surprised by the accusation.
