Module 1: Bias in AI
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has the potential to transform our lives, but it’s not without challenges. One critical issue is AI bias, where systems unintentionally or intentionally produce unfair outcomes that reflect human prejudices. This module explores how bias enters AI, the impact it can have on individuals and society, and why addressing it is essential for creating ethical, trustworthy systems. Let’s explore how bias starts, how it can affect AI systems, and what steps we can take to ensure AI serves everyone fairly.
In Module 1, we cover the following Lessons:
Lesson 1.1: Why AI Bias Matters and How It Affects Us
Lesson 1.2: Where Bias Begins: Human Bias
LESSON 1.4: THE BIG PICTURE
Bias in AI isn’t just a technical issue—it’s about people. When we take steps to understand and address it, we create systems that respect everyone’s experiences and promote equality. By building fairer AI, we can make sure this powerful technology benefits all of us, now and in the future.
UNESCO’s graphic novel “Inside AI, An Algorithmic Adventure” invites you to explore both the opportunities and challenges that AI presents. The aim of the graphic novel is not only to make AI concepts accessible to everyone, but also to empower each individual to be aware of and protect the fundamental rights in the digital age.
UNESCO invites you to share your thoughts on #ArtificiaIIntelligence and to interact with them by commenting, retweeting and sharing this graphic novel in your social media networks, and tagging @UNESCO.
