Artificial intelligence has swept the whole industry. It is spreading gems with highly advanced technological traces and has changed the face of the technological world with its simple touch. As it paves the way to capture different industries, it affects the latest trends and exciting complexity, eventually putting tremendous pressure on marketers, developers and creative artists.

However, as some shocking updates to artificial intelligence algorithms have emerged in the industry, the tech giants have aroused many contradictory views and judgments. It is reported that artificial intelligence algorithms are thought to lead to racist and biased discrimination.

AI-driven algorithms affect our lives in countless ways. From providing technology that indicates that you are in trouble, lurking near you while driving, recognizing your voice and meeting all your needs, and you don't even have to move your fingers. Because of its wide range of methods and insurmountable benefits, it helps designers create incredibly creative designers and developers to produce devices that can be like the human brain. Today, the AI robot is used as an important source of customer support for writing legitimate articles for great websites such as Wikipedia.

When we reveal the various advantages and contributions that artificial intelligence brings to the world and its people, it is hard to believe that it will also produce such serious discrimination. In many major reports, artificial intelligence-driven robots are seen as stimulating discrimination. Please learn more about them below:

Recruitment applicant

Facial recognition software has now become a topic of concern because it is spreading gender elimination. According to the research proposed by IT, the performance of the system is low when recognizing the faces of people with darker skin. At the same time, Amazon ignores the artificial intelligence recruitment system because it rates candidates in a gender-neutral manner rather than acknowledging their expertise. As these problems began to cause a sensation in the technology industry, many leading experts put forward their observation and research on similar problems. Experts like Cathy O'Neil and Virginia Eubanks have shocked the industry with their best-selling books Mathematical weapons of destruction and Automation inequality with incredible discoveries, respectively.

The innocent victim

PredPol is used in several states of the United States-a system to identify places with high crime rates has been taken to reduce human bias. However, in 2016, according to the findings of the Human Rights data Analysis Group, "the software may cause the police to charge some communities unfairly."

Add another supported study to prove this, proposed in 2012 by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE), which said that as part of police reconnaissance operations, facial recognition work only cameras suspects up to 5-10%, which is the least accurate in identifying African-Americans. This great study clearly shows the great discrimination against innocent black citizens.

Robot debt recovery plan

The new case of Centrelink debt recovery software has led to many serious accusations that artificial intelligence is the cause of human bias. For more than 18 months, people have been mislocated. More than 20000 welfare recipients were accused of debt and were later found to have little money. This huge problem was triggered because some serious defects were found in the system.

Poorly written algorithms spread human prejudice

Recent events highlight the fact that the AI algorithm is not well written. Facebook may not discriminate against its 1.3 billion members when registering; however, in February 2018, Facebook allowed marketers to upload targeted ads based on criteria about who could view these ads, including race, sexual orientation, religion and ethnicity.

In addition, on another account, when Microsoft Tay, an artificial intelligence chat robot programmed to learn content, people tweeted imitating human conversations, news was supported. Something went wrong when Tay became "a dirty robot full of Hitler" because of many malicious trolls.

In addition, as early as 2015, a study showed that only 11% of Google's CEO images were women, compared with 27% of CEO positions in the United States. A few days later, a new study shows that male applicants have got all the high-paying jobs. Anupam Datta presented the study at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. According to Datta, the Google algorithm regards men as the most suitable applicants for all well-paid jobs and leadership positions, learning from users' behavior.

The failure of the 2016 beauty pageant judged by AI-Bots

In March 2016, a large-scale beauty pageant was held, with more than 600,000 men and women from India and Africa participating. Participants were asked to send their selfies, and the three robots should judge the event. Robots are programmed to compare the facial features of actors and models. Although more than 50000 restaurants were collected at the time of the results, nearly 44 winners were observed to be white. After studying the situation, researchers at the youth lab said that the robot refused to consider photos of dark-skinned people affected by bad light. They don't use algorithms to judge darker skin.

Wrap it up

Have an in-depth understanding of the algorithm before planning to blindly rely on the machine learning system. It may prove to be very beneficial and is also a reason for the spread of human prejudice.
