Abstract

CoIn this #EngShort we look at artificial intelligence and whether it can be #biased. #Artificialintelligence learns from the world around it by analysing the data we give it. So, could AI pick up discriminatory behaviour from its surroundings too? 

You can also learn more in our report This AI Life where we explore the potential impact of artificial intelligence on the #health and #socialcare sector and examine the benefits that #technology could bring to #healthcaresystems.
