A new study confirms that AI can promote the bias we already have and, in fact, teach us to be more biased.

“Artificial intelligence (AI) systems tend to take on human biases and amplify them, causing people who use that AI to become more biased themselves, finds a new study by UCL researchers.

The researchers demonstrated that AI bias can have real-world consequences, as they found that people interacting with biased AIs became more likely to underestimate women's performance and overestimate white men's likelihood of holding high-status jobs.”

We need more women in AI!
