Researchers from the University College London discovered that AI systems copy our biases…and might be making them worse. The study found that when humans interact with biased AI systems, those people become more biased themselves. At the same time, human beings underestimate how much AI influences them. A series of experiments involving 1,401 participants found that smaller biases are amplified into larger ones through repeated human-AI interactions. “When we train AI systems on sets of data that have been produced by people, the AI algorithms learn the human biases that are embedded in the data,” Professor Tali Sharot said. “AI then tends to exploit and amplify these biases to improve its prediction accuracy.” (Study Finds)
