Many people think of AI as objective and neutral, something that not only makes our lives easier, but also helps us to eliminate the biases that plague human cognition and decision-making. While it’s true AI can do a lot for us, it’s a myth that AI is bias-free. In fact, AI can amplify the bias and perpetuate the inequality that is already rampant in our society. In this episode, we’ll explore how and why AI isn’t as fair as we’d like to believe, the consequences of bias in AI, and what responsible and ethical AI could look like.    GATE’s Busted podcast is made possible by generous support from BMO.  Featured Guests:  Allison Cohen, Senior Manager, Applied Projects, Mila  Dr. James Zou, Associate Professor of Biomedical Data Science and, by courtesy, of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering, Stanford University Produced by: Carmina Ravanera and Dr. Sonia Kang Edited by: Ian Gormely
