Take Action! addresses issues like technology that isn’t thought of as artificial intelligence can be affected by biases. Accessibility technologies are also impacted. Whether it’s a technology device that isn’t accessible to all or automated speech recognition that doesn’t recognize accents or an alternative communication device that doesn’t have ethnic voice choices. Examples of the bias in technology comes down to the fact that the data used to train artificial intelligence is not representative of the diversity of the human race: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA game system that was tested only on men ages 18–35 didn’t recognize women or children.\nVoice recognition tools don’t recognize higher-pitched voices.\nFacial recognition is most accurate with lighter-skin men than with women and in particular darker-skinned people.\nAlgorithms for risk scoring loans said that white men were a better risk.\nAlgorithms reviewing resumes rejected women’s resumes.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRead more . . . https://sites.google.com/view/takeactionsouthflorida/about?authuser=0 \n
