The author, Joy Buolamwini, had an article in this Sunday's Boston Globe Ideas section that explores the same topic. It was extremely well written and enjoyable to read, but unfortunately reached exactly the wrong conclusions. In pretty much every case she cited, the problem was with the humans involved and only tangentially about the AI. In one case, a man killed himself after spending many hours talking to an AI that evidently suggested that. If a man is spending hours talking to an AI about personal issues, there's already a really big problem. Admittedly, the issue that she raises about an AI not being able to identify her face because she has dark skin is disturbing, but she knows as well as I do that this is because the model hasn't been trained on a broad enough training set - not that there's something inherently wrong with the model necessarily. It's a sensationalist approach that unfortunately seems to be the norm in the AI dangers universe.
