AI Bias and Discrimination

[Kaiser]

Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly being used in decision-making processes, from hiring to loan approvals. However, concerns about bias in AI algorithms have emerged. These biases can perpetuate discrimination based on race, gender, and other factors.
How does bias creep into AI systems?

AI is such an interesting topic, especially with how it's being used in decisions like hiring and loans! It’s concerning to think about how bias can sneak into these systems, often through the data used to train them. If that data reflects past inequalities, the AI might make decisions that continue those patterns, which isn’t fair at all. The consequences can be really serious, like unfair treatment of people based on race or gender. We need to ensure these systems are designed with fairness in mind to build trust and make better choices for everyone!
