Come out for an in-depth discussion of the issues of bias in AI 

As the capabilities of artificial intelligence continue to expand at an increasing rate, it becomes more prevalent in our everyday lives.

Because of the potential human cost involved in these areas, it has become increasingly important to investigate whether the systems that make these qualitative judgments do so in an objective manner.
