HOW CAN ''AI'' BE RACIST? (YOUSSEF ALSADAKA)200711056

Updated: Jan 19, 2022




First, We must know that the programming of artificial intelligence algorithms depends mainly on the information and data provided by programmers, Which may be used in a racial way.

It should be noted that the basic need in "deep learning" which is considered the most important component of artificial intelligence, Is the use of data.

Deep learning basically means that an algorithm feeds on existing data and then learns about the data without the need for human intervention.


The Beauty AI App that was developed to create a mobile beauty contest for humans, Exposed racial biases and gave more priority to white people.

Of the thousands of applicants, "Beauty AI", developed by a company based in Australia and Hong Kong, Accepted only 6 who were black, While white was the most preferred.


From here, we, As media professionals, As a fourth authority, Must try to influence international authorities and organizations in order to shed light on the legal nature of programming, to enact laws that compel programmers to program algorithms that are compatible with what is stated in the declarations and laws on human rights issued by the United Nations.
