It is incorrect that inanimate objects are handled in a bias-free way. For instance, yellow bananas are (by human labelers, and consequently by AIs) labeled 'bananas', while green bananas are labeled 'green bananas' (similar to how a male doctor may be labeled 'doctor' while a female doctor may be labeled 'female doctor'). Even aside from labeling, the choice of data itself may be prone to bias, for example most pictures in an image set may be taken from a camera at human height pointed horizontally, etc. The biases that are racist are simply a subset of the manifold human biases that pervade data and consequently pervade AIs. There is no unbiased algorithm, all are hopelessly contaminated by humans.
- gambiting 7y ago>>(similar to how a male doctor may be labeled 'doctor' while a female doctor may be labeled 'female doctor') Isn't that just a bug in the English language though? English very rarely employs variations of the same word based on gender - but that's not true of many other languages. If the labeling was done in say Polish or German suddenly it wouldn't be biased at all, a male doctor would be labeled Lekarz/Artz while a female one would be labeled Lekarka/Ärztin - it's just what it is, no bias here.
