AI is just a tool, a way to automate making more kinds of decisions. The decisions are not better or inherently more right by virtue of taking a human out of the loop. In fact, they're usually worse, because humans are intelligent for real and computers are not. But the decisions are automated, and that makes more things possible. And sometimes you need to deal with the effects of automation. Nobody could reasonably declare an AI "free from biases", but you can work on particular aspects. Here's an example: Meetup de-biases their recommender system so that it doesn't automatically recommend knitting instead of coding meetups if you are a woman. [1] Yes, in the data, there are relatively more women going to knitting meetups and fewer going to coding meetups, but it doesn't have to use that data or its correlates to make predictions. In fact, it shouldn't. If you do like knitting, it can still learn that from your actual personal preferences and not infer it bluntly from your gender.
