Testing AI for Bias: Because Even Robots Can Be Racist, Sexist and Full of Prejudice

AI is supposed to be smart, but sometimes it makes dubious decisions. From finance to healthcare to recruitment, biased AI can wreak havoc – denying loans, misdiagnosing patients, or choosing the wrong candidate just because their name isn’t “John.” The worst part? It does all this with virtual confidence and smugness. In this session, I’ll expose AI’s questionable judgment, show you how to catch its biases before they make headlines, and arm you with practical techniques to keep your models fair and accountable. Whether you’re building AI, testing it, or nervously wondering if it’s plotting against you, this talk will raise your awareness on AI bias, and arm you with practical strategies to detect them. It’s time to keep the AIs honest.
