To achieve this, it is essential to have a diverse and multidisciplinary team involved in all steps of the creation of the algorithm or system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe most effective way to mitigate these biases is to catch them since the conceptualization of the system,\u201d said Cort\u00e9s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One examples of the impact of these biases is the case of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.media.mit.edu\/people\/joyab\/overview\/\">Joy Buolamwini<\/a>, an <strong>African-Canadian computer scientist<\/strong> who discovered that different facial recognition software, as well as social robots, <strong>did not recognize her face<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Upon realizing this, she began to investigate and found that the algorithm behind the software and robots had been<strong> trained with images of white faces<\/strong>, so it was unable to recognize others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on her experience, Buolamwini launched the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ajl.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Algorithmic Justice League<\/a>, an organization dedicated to fighting discrimination in these technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe need to audit and test the algorithms to detect if there is any bias in them,\u201d Chavez said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, it is crucial to have more women who are programming specialists, to increase diversity among the people who write code, but also to create expert teams dedicated to examining <strong>algorithms<\/strong> and ensuring that they are <strong>representative<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is also important that people raise their voice and report or point out when they detect bias or prejudice in an algorithm or AI program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat works, even if we think it doesn&#8217;t,\u201d Medina said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-crucial-role-of-schools-and-universities\"><strong>The Crucial Role of Schools and Universities<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, it is essential that schools have <strong>AI teaching programs <\/strong>that include a specific section on ethics and diversity, where critical thinking is encouraged, learning to listen and incorporate what everyone has to say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt&#8217;s not just mentioning it when it comes out in class, you have to prepare a specific lecture and get the students to participate,\u201d Medina said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is also important that, from a young age, girls know that they can dedicate themselves to mathematics and programming if that is what they want to do, bringing AI to them in a way that is compatible with their age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coursera.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Coursera<\/a>, in the last three years the enrollment of women in AI courses has increased from 30% to 50%,\u201d said Medina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Companies, organizations and institutions that use AI must have clear codes of ethics that guide users and creators of algorithms to use them and create them in an inclusive manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI think we have to talk and educate ourselves on these issues, have practical guides that help us evaluate the impacts and risks of AI,\u201d Mart\u00ednez said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is especially important, because the use of these technologies has increased exponentially, while their legislation and <strong>regulation has stayed behind<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhile we wait for laws and regulations, system builders, have to be aware of these risks and mitigate them,\u201d Cort\u00e9s said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, it is important to understand that these prejudices are part of the human condition and it does not mean that they are there because we have bad intentions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEvery one of us has biases and we are going to take care of the group to which we belong, this is why it is important that everyone is represented,\u201d Mart\u00ednez concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Artificial Intelligence experts discussed some of the measures we can take to avoid these

Mi trabajo ha sido publicado en medios como Science, Science News, Newsweek, Nexos, \u00bfC\u00f3mo ves?, entre otros. Estudi\u00e9 Biolog\u00eda en la Facultad de Ciencias de la UNAM y ah\u00ed descubr\u00ed mi pasi\u00f3n por comunicarle a todas las personas el conocimiento cient\u00edfico y su relevancia social. Creo que la ciencia, al fomentar el pensamiento cr\u00edtico, puede empoderar a la humanidad y, al ser la base de los avances tecnol\u00f3gicos, puede ayudarla a vivir en las mejores condiciones posibles.","url":"https:\/\/tecscience.tec.mx\/en\/author\/igutierrez\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tecscience.tec.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/160821","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tecscience.tec.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tecscience.tec.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tecscience.tec.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/12"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tecscience.tec.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=160821"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tecscience.tec.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/160821\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tecscience.tec.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/160823"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tecscience.tec.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=160821"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tecscience.tec.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=160821"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tecscience.tec.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=160821"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
