Recommendation

Paul R. Daugherty, H. James Wilson and Rumman Chowdhury – tech leaders from management consultancy Accenture – acknowledge how AI has amplified human biases and envision a better future for the technology and for society. The authors name several specific ways that AI can help – and already has helped – balance inequalities, and they turn a spotlight on the companies leading the way.

Take-Aways

  • AI’s tendency to amplify human bias has gained it some infamy, but the technology has the potential to accelerate social justice and inclusivity.
  • “Diverse and diverse-minded” technologists can help make AI a tool for good – one that can, for example, ensure fairer hiring practices. 
  • In addition, AI engineers must carefully remove any traces of bias from their data sets and improve representation of marginalized groups.
