Bias and Fairness

One of the most discussed ethical issues in AI and NLP is bias and fairness. As machine learning algorithms rely on data to make decisions, they can unintentionally perpetuate existing biases in society. For instance, facial recognition systems have been shown to be less accurate when identifying people of color and women. Similarly, language models trained on biased text corpora can generate offensive or discriminatory language. To address these issues, researchers and practitioners are developing methods to detect and mitigate bias in AI systems, as well as promoting diversity and inclusion in the development and deployment of these technologies.
