Bias in AI isn’t a future problem—it’s happening right now. In this powerful third episode of our “May I Learn About AI?” series, Dr. JR and AI ethics researcher Casey Brightman explore how artificial intelligence can unintentionally (and sometimes dangerously) reflect the biases of its human creators.
We dig into real-world stories, from biased healthcare algorithms and hiring tools to flawed facial recognition and education software. Along the way, we explain how bias creeps into data, how it impacts real people, and what governments, businesses, and researchers are doing to push back.
This Mother’s Day episode reflects on the values of fairness and care—asking if our AI systems can be built to uphold them, and what role we play in shaping a more equitable digital future.
What You’ll Learn
- What AI bias actually is (hint: it’s not about feelings—it’s about patterns)
- How training data and algorithm design can unintentionally lead to unfair outcomes
- Real-world consequences of AI bias in healthcare, hiring, policing, and education
- How emerging policies like the EU AI Act and NYC Local Law 144 are tackling the issue
- Global efforts in countries like India and Canada to build more inclusive AI
- Bias in generative AI tools like GPT and DALL·E—and how it shapes creativity
- What you can do to advocate for fairness and accountability in AI systems
