Can AI discriminate gender?

Amazon's AI hiring tool, launched in 2014, designed to sift through resumes and rate job applicants, promised efficiency. But guess what? The tool turned out to be biased against women.

The AI was trained on resumes submitted over a 10-year period. And because tech is male-dominated, the data was skewed.

The algorithm learned the wrong lesson: it started penalizing resumes containing words like "women's" or those mentioning all-women's colleges.
Amazon tried to rectify it but eventually had to disband the project.

This highlights the critical importance of addressing bias in data analytics. If we're not careful, AI can perpetuate existing societal biases, making the playing field even more uneven.
