Diversity: the key to minimizing the risks of artificial intelligence

 

"There is a great risk of bias entering the algorithms because of the nature of the people who write algorithms. So, it is hugely important that the programmers, the authors, are diverse, in their nature."

"There has to be a clear and powerful governance process to ensure this diversity. The members must be sensitized to these biases before they get to work. And there must be extensive piloting and comparisons between the outcomes of the proposed algorithm and the judgements made on the same cohorts of students by human, experienced adjudicators."
