Melinda Gates, a philanthropist and advocate for women’s rights wants more women to get involved in the development of artificial intelligence technologies. She apprehends that there are not enough women who are computer scientists and have expertise in artificial intelligence and it could lead to a bias in the system.
She said that the AI system should consider all view points and embrace a comprehensive understanding of the world. Many AI models have been criticized for perpetuating biases with regard to women. The emergence of generative tools like OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Dall-E, have amplified these concerns.
Melinda Gates is focusing on empowerment of women candidates and she acknowledged that decisions affecting women were often made without their representation.
