Abstract

Artificial Intelligence has changed a lot since it was first thought of in the middle of the century. Now it is used in areas like healthcare, finance, education and criminal justice. At first Artificial Intelligence was made to be like intelligence and to make decisions like humans do. Now Artificial Intelligence is used to make things easier and to do tasks.. Even with all the good things Artificial Intelligence can do people are worried that it is not always fair.


The thing is, people think Artificial Intelligence is neutral and always right but that is not true. Artificial Intelligence can be.This bias usually comes from the data that is used to train Artificial Intelligence from the people who design it and from the way society has been in the past.


This study is looking at whether Artificial Intelligence can be biased and why this happens. It is also trying to figure out how this bias affects the decisions that are made and how we can stop it from happening. To do this the study is looking at what other people have written about Artificial Intelligence and bias.


What the study found out is that Artificial Intelligence can be biased and this can make the problems we have in society even worse. So it is very important that we make Artificial Intelligence in a way that's fair and good for everyone. To do this we need to work and make sure that Artificial Intelligence is used in a way that is fair, for all people. We need to make sure that Artificial Intelligence is used to help everyone, not some people.
