designed a programme</a> to test whether AI showed bias in hiring new employees. Machine learning can be used to pre-select candidates based on various criteria such as skills and education. This produces a score which indicates how fit the candidate is for
the job. In a candidate selection program, Datta’s program randomly changed the gender and the weight applicants said they could lift in their application, and if there was no change in the number of women that were pre-selected for interviews, then it is
not the applicant’s sex that determined the hiring process. See: <a href="https://theconversation.com/artificial-intelligence-could-reinforce-societys-gender-equality-problems-92631">
https://theconversation.com/artificial-intelligence-could-reinforce-societys-gender-equality-problems-92631</a> Stanford Gendered Innovations is doing a Workshop on Gender/Fairness and Machine Learning in late March. We will be preparing a case study mapping
problems, solutions, and who should make decisions about what is “fair”? (And what is fair??)<o:p></o:p></span></p>

gender cues into a robot’s design can influence acceptance by humans. However, little is known about the interaction between human and robot gender…to read the study:

to accommodate to the diverse needs of their students and staff, addressing and studying diversity in medical education remains challenging. In teaching cultural competence, several approaches are identified, including a cultural expertise approach, a cultural
sensibility approach and a cross-cultural approach. We propose the analysis of diversity related issues at three distinct levels: fixing the numbers, fixing the institutions and fixing the knowledge.
