How we can build AI to help humans, not hurt us | Margaret Mitchell | TED Talk

In her TED Talk “How we can build AI to help humans, not hurt us,” Google research scientist Margaret Mitchell explains her work on helping computers to communicate about the world around us by teaching them to understand what we share, believe and feel as humans. She shares her concern about the creation of blind spots, gaps and bias in the AI systems she works on due to the limited viewpoint and datasets used. Mitchell believes that to create AI systems that help us rather than hurt us, we need to reflect on our own biases and think about how they inform the technology we are creating. We learn that the artificial intelligence and digital transformation of tomorrow is shaped by what we build and create today.
