Summary | A new research shows that artificial intelligence can also have biases and prejudices. The results are not really surprising but it can be dangerous if one uses AI to hire people for instance. The study shows that some AI programs actually reproduce racist and sexist stereotypes that exist in language. Researchers created an "association test"called GloVe and demonstrated that, for example, the machine associated names of flowers with positive connotations, and names of insects with negative ones, as would human beings do. The results are not surprising because learning machines are actually a mirror of human behavior.
