Instead of overfitting , it's more related to exploitation vs exploration. We see more men related to programming might be just that women are not given opportunities to explore the programming as a career.
When AI makes a decision, right now, people only uses the probability output. Hiring A has .6 probability while hiring B has .4. then we will hire A instead of B. However, if we consider the confidence intervals, the decision might not be that clear. Say +/- .5 to hire A but .2 to hire B. If exploration is considered too, very likely that we will give B a chance.
AI is in the realm of probabilistic decision making, while normal people don't follow. The bias is not from the training side. It's the decision making process incorporating AI should change.
