AI's Biases
- AI systems reflect existing societal biases, including gender and racial biases.
- This is because AI is trained on data that reflects these biases.

- This act of choosing can be considered a form of data violence.

- This demonstrates how data choices perpetuate biases and create gaps in understanding.
