ai bias

When Google released Gemini, a new chatbot powered by artificial intelligence, it quickly faced a backlash — and unleashed a fierce debate about whether A.I. should be guided by social values, and if so, whose values they should be.

Kevin Roose, a technology columnist for The Times and co-host of the podcast “Hard Fork,” explains.

Guest: Kevin Roose, a technology columnist for The New York Times and co-host of the podcast “Hard Fork.”

Artificial intelligence is already changing how people work, learn, play and live. As these technologies develop, it will be crucial to understand how they interact with human behavior to make sure we use AI safely and ethically. Nathanael Fast, PhD, executive director of the Neely Center for Ethical Leadership and Decision Making at the USC Marshall School of Business and co-director of the Psychology of Technology Institute, talks about how AI affects people’s decision-making, whether most of us trust AI, and why it’s important to make sure that the potential benefits of AI flow to everyone, not just the most privileged.

Why are AI models so biased? Whether it's ChatGPT or an AI image generator, LLMs often have certain biases and tendencies. Nick Schmidt, Founder & CTO of SolasAI & BLDS, LLC, joins us to discuss how to understand and fix biased AI.

Today's episode unpacks the complex issue of bias in artificial intelligence. We explore how bias emerges through training data, algorithms, and human prejudices. Looking at real examples of biased AI in hiring, healthcare, and facial recognition, we see how bias leads to discriminatory impacts that amplify injustice. Steps like enhancing data diversity, algorithm adjustments, and monitoring for fairness can help mitigate bias. But completely eliminating it remains incredibly difficult, often requiring tradeoffs between competing values. There are no perfect solutions yet. Going forward, transparency, testing for disparate impacts across groups, and centering ethics and accountability will be critical. The stakes are high, as these systems shape more of our lives. But through thoughtful, cross-disciplinary dialogue and vigilance, we can strive to build AI that is fairer than our human biases. This podcast was generated with the help of artificial intelligence. We do fact check with human eyes, but there might still be hallucinations in the output.

All day, every day, we have to make decisions, from what to have for breakfast to how to spend our money to whether to evacuate ahead of a hurricane. Psychologists’ research is helping us understand why people make the decisions they do, from trivial choices to life-and-death ones. Decision scientists Lace Padilla, PhD, and Hannah Perfecto, PhD, discuss why people make bad decisions, how even small changes in the way choices are presented can nudge us to make different ones, and how can decision researchers’ findings could best be deployed in the real world.
