AI is in crisis. According to an MIT Sloan Management Review article, “Black workers represent only 2.5% of Google’s entire workforce and 4% of Facebook’s and Microsoft’s. Gender comparisons are also stark: Globally, only 22% of AI professionals are female.”
Many in the sector think that innovation in AI means faster computers, larger teams, more complex algorithms, and more money. Some will even deny there is a bias problem in AI at all. However, true technology innovators like Tony Effik, know that the real way to make AI more effective, accurate, and ultimately useful for a better world, is through increased efforts towards diversity and equality.
