There’s been a backlash against diversity efforts of late. I’ll blame that on poorly implemented DEI initiatives, anti woke movement, bad quotas and questionable data from McKinsey. One area where this backlash is particularly concerning is in AI, where a lack of diversity in both data and workers building AI systems lead to bias at scale - no matter the intentions. At a time when AI is increasingly subtly infused in our every day lives, we can’t let anti-wokeness and anti-DEI sabotage efforts in AI and STEM in general. To correct this, we need to be intentional and take a multi pronged approach. Thank you VentureBeat for your publishing my thoughts on this critical topic. #AIbias #diversity #AIethics https://lnkd.in/e-66gWf8
