The world is not fAlr

Abstract

The fast paced and multi directional development of AI applications is supporting humans in areas ranging from buying a simple toothbrush to sending reusable spacecrafts into the space. As AI is being increasingly adopted in crucial and sensitive applications, it raises the need to study about the biases that these systems bring to the table. Recent times have seen significant increase in the examples of AI systems reflecting or exacerbating machine biases, from racist facial recognition to sexist natural language processing. Recently, American Civil Liberty Union filed a case against Detroit Police for falsely arresting an African American due to mis-identification attributed to its facial recognition software.
