All humans have biases, so all that data and programming could be biased too as a result of who is programming it., only 13.5% of machine learning jobs are held by women, only 18% of software developers are women and only 21% of computer programmers are women.
A new nonprofit called EqualAI, funded in part by Arianna Huffington and the founder of Wikipedia, Jimmy Wales, is tackling this problem. I sat down with Equal-AI’s inaugural Executive Director, Miriam Vogel, to talk about the challenges of biases in AI and what can be done to minimize them.
