> Anima Anandkuma, a Professor at California Institute of Technology who has previously worked on Amazon’s AI systems says, “Diverse teams are more likely to flag problems that could have negative social consequences before a product has been launched.”
I would love to see proof that this statement is true.
Oh, next paragraph:
> There is arguably no other industry that is more impactful to society than the technology sector. If the firms that comprise this industry are almost entirely represented by white male populations, it is hardly surprising that their products end up being biased against other ethnicities.
I don't know how asian people who work in tech in the Bay Area can read these two paragraphs next to each other and not have their brain explode. I'm white/hispanic, and my brain exploded. Tech is "almost entirely represented by white male..." Yeah yeah yeah, white males = evil. Good job, author.
