In this episode, we examine the critical issue of bias in artificial intelligence, exploring how biased AI systems can amplify discrimination and perpetuate societal inequalities. We discuss the sources of AI bias, including prejudiced training data, algorithmic design choices, and human decisions during development. We highlight how biased AI impacts areas like recruitment, criminal justice, healthcare, finance, and social media, potentially deepening existing inequalities and undermining public trust.
We also delve into efforts to address AI bias through technical solutions—such as collecting diverse data and using fairness-oriented algorithms—as well as regulatory responses like the EU AI Act and emerging legislation in the United States. Yet, despite these efforts, defining and effectively mitigating AI bias remains a significant challenge. Ultimately, we emphasize the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration and ethical guidelines to ensure AI systems are fair, equitable, and trustworthy.
