"We often assume machines are neutral, but they aren’t. My research uncovered large gender and racial bias in AI systems sold by tech giants like IBM, Microsoft, and Amazon. Given the task of guessing the gender of a face, all companies performed substantially better on male faces than female faces. The companies I evaluated had error rates of no more than 1% for lighter-skinned men. For darker-skinned women, the errors soared to 35%. AI systems from leading companies have failed to correctly classify the faces of Oprah Winfrey, Michelle Obama, and Serena Williams. When technology denigrates even these iconic women, it is time to re-examine how these systems are built and who they truly serve."

Machines can discriminate in harmful ways. Here's how we fix the problem

"The problem is, algorithms were never designed to handle such tough choices. They are built to pursue a single mathematical goal, such as maximizing the number of soldiers’ lives saved or minimizing the number of civilian deaths. When you start dealing with multiple, often competing, objectives or try to account for intangibles like “freedom” and “well-being,” a satisfactory mathematical solution doesn’t always exist."

Algorithms are best at pursuing a single mathematical objective—but humans often want multiple incompatible things.

"In recent years, physicists and neuroscientists have developed an armory of tools that can sense certain kinds of thoughts and transmit information about them into other brains. That has made brain-to-brain communication a reality.

These tools include electroencephalograms (EEGs) that record electrical activity in the brain and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), which can transmit information into the brain"

BrainNet allows collaborative problem-solving using direct brain-to-brain communication.

The 87-gigabytes breach, discovered by security researcher Troy Hunt, is made up of many different individual breaches from thousands of sources. It was found in a popular hacking forum, which Hunt chose not to name. He’s dubbed the leaked files “Collection #1.”

One of the largest ever collections of breached data, including 773 million email addresses and over 21 million passwords, has been discovered.

"Managers who have difficulty delegating tasks can learn from this process — particularly if your workload has become overwhelming, or you need someone to pick up the slack when you are out of town. The hardest part about delegating a task to someone else is trusting that they will do it well. And many managers are reluctant to turn over their responsibilities to someone who may not meet that expectation."

By doing so, you’ll broaden your team’s skills.
