Yes. To phrase it differently, if we have trained a perfectly rational AI, it may make the same (biased) decisions against women based on past statistics (percentage of women leaving full-time jobs) and assumption in reasoning (family responsibility affecting career performance) as you described.
To change the decision would require changing either the statistics or the assumption in reasoning.

- TuringNYC 10y agoWe are part of society, so I hope we don't "trained a perfectly rational AI" but train something that operates within constraints that we agree upon as a society. A "perfectly rational AI" might also kill of disabled people as unproductive, but we as a society will need to introduce bounds and constraints and objectives in line with our human values.
- icebraining 10y agoNo, assuming that the goal of your perfectly rational AI is to maximize profits, you can change the decision by adding a disincentive for choosing against women. Which is what governments usually do.
