Maschinen sind nicht die besseren Menschen
(Machines are the better people)

Topic Tags | artificial intelligence, diversity, gender, translation
Summary | One could think that artificial intelligence robots are not racist or sexist but because they learn from information circulating on the internet, they are subject to the biases as most poeple. This is why a beauty contest judged by an AI robot favored white people as more beautiful. Online job listings can also be biased based on gender so that women will not see higher-paying job listings or gender inclusive language gets lost in translation.
