Jeffersonian Dinner: Is AI Inherently Sexist?

April 12, 2018 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm

As part of TED’s “The Age of Amazement” for 2018, our CEO, Mira Veda, will moderate a Jeffersonian style dinner for Tedsters. If you are attending TED in Vancouver please sign up through the app or through the TED portal.

Below is the invite-only event description:

In 2016, researchers using AI software ran a text analysis on the phrase “Man is to computer programmer as woman is to X.” The AI equated “woman” with “homemaker.” Machine-learning software trained on datasets shows bias, prejudice and misogyny. Are we training sexism into AI? How do we resolve the problem?
