'Everything a creator builds is in their own image' - a sentiment we've been fed since forever might actually be true. A robot recently shocked scientists after it became racist and sexist.

A recent experiment by researchers from John Hopkins University, Georgia Institute of Technology, and the University of Washington showed how a robot controlled by a machine learning tool began to categorise people based on dangerous stereotypes about race and gender.
