Artificial intelligence is also sexist
Scientists have conducted some works to
show that AI can have some discriminatory aspects along with its aspects of
making human life easier. These works are like a call to build ethics while
developing AI technologies. You can
turn AI into a racist and sexist
individual just like you can make it a psychopath. AI experts at MIT Media Lab said that this depends
only on what data you feed the algorithm with.
They revealed Norman, the world’s first psychopath
AI. Turkish scientist Tolga Bölükbaşı, who is pursuing a master’s degree at Boston
University Electric and Electronic Engineering, was also part of the team.
Bölükbaşı said that an algorithm can be sexist if the software
was trained with news bulletins from Google
News. After a while, the software deduced a software developer would be a
man while a woman is the one who manages only housework.
He added that it is hard to determine what
negative effects learner and biased software will reveal in the future if they
are not kept under control.
He highlighted that even large online
platforms like Google can be sexist. He pointed out that the gender-neutral
words like “doctor” can be mistranslated by Google.
“If you translate ‘O bir doktor’ in Turkish
into English it will show up as ‘He
is a doctor,’ adding the male gender to the profession,” he said.
