Integrating an equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) lens into artificial intelligence systems is no longer a luxury or optional, writes 9I制作厂免费 Desautels Faculty Lecturer Simon Blanchette in The Conversation Canada. Without it, AI risks reinforcing existing biases. The creators of the technology should integrate EDI from the ground up, and adopt practices that promote its integration into their tools, like ensuring that development teams are diverse, establishing accountability frameworks, and cultivating inclusive work places.

Artificial intelligence can identify patterns in data much faster and more effectively and efficiently than humans can, but it is only applicable to the specific contexts in which data was created. Even then, AI can replicate the data鈥檚 biases and encode them, resulting in a major limitation that can lead to discrimination on the basis of sex or ethnicity. This is of particular concern for public sector organizations, which need to be fair to those they serve.
