AI's Ethical Challenges: Discrimination and Algorithmic Bias

Imagine AI as a super-smart tool that can make decisions, but it uses data about people.

The problem is, if this data reflects unfairness in the real world, the AI might make unfair choices too, like discriminating against certain groups.

This article by a philosophy professor asks whether AI can be fair if it doesn't know anything about your identity.

It asks if AI can be objective when it's built on existing biases.

The author suggests a way to fight these unfairness by replacing the human identifiers with numbers to prevent bias, but says it would come at the cost of a sense of identity.
