You are aware that AI programs reflect the prejudices of the organizations that develop them?

Yes, and it is well known that Tesla's self-driving program reproduces Elon Musk's reckless driving habits... /s

I'm just intervening to point out that what you're saying is not what the paper you linked implies. Its title is "Semantics derived automatically from language corpora contain human-like biases", and the general conclusion you could derive from it is that AI programs reflect the stereotypes ... of the data they are trained with. This is why they use the right word: stereotype, instead of the charged word you used: prejudice.

And who selects the training set?

Do you not mind that your point isn't reflected in the paper you linked?

I"m not aware of that result, can you help connect your paper to that claim?
