Many of today’s AI systems have biases against people of color and the broader diversity beyond the white, male, affluent, and able-bodied developers of most computer and robot systems. We need to be sure that when autonomous robots make their decisions, the designer’s flaws and judgments are not “baked in.”
Nominate outstanding colleagues for the CCC Council.
