the states’ data but you will be looking for errors in the data you collected for your project.
1. TO DO: In your data, check each point below:

● Are there any missing values?
○ If there are only a few missing values and you have a lot of data, delete the row
containing the missing value.
● Is there a column for quiz score?
○ If so, it needs to be deleted.
● Are there any question types not allowed, such as short answer?
○ If so, these columns need to be deleted.
✦ It’s time! You’ve generated a solid research question, you’ve pitched your idea, and you’ve
collected your data. It’s time to put all that hard work into action. You will create an AI-powered
web app using your data that you can share with your family and friends!

Module 2 Lesson 8 – Amazon’s Gender Biased AI and Team

Breakdown
“Amazon scraps secret AI recruiting tool that showed bias against women”
By Jeffrey Dastin
Originally published October 10, 2018 in Reuters
Amazon.com Inc's AMZN.O machine-learning specialists uncovered a big problem: their new
recruiting engine did not like women.
The team had been building computer programs since 2014 to review job applicants’ resumes
with the aim of automating the search for top talent, said five people familiar with the effort.
Automation has been key to Amazon’s e-commerce dominance, be it inside warehouses or driving
pricing decisions. The company’s experimental hiring tool used artificial intelligence to give job candidates
scores ranging from one to five stars - much like shoppers rate products on Amazon, some of the people
said.
“Everyone wanted this holy grail,” one of the people said. “They literally wanted it to be an engine
where I’m going to give you 100 resumes, it will spit out the top five, and we’ll hire those.”
But by 2015, the company realized its new system was not rating candidates for software
developer jobs and other technical posts in a gender-neutral way.
That is because Amazon’s computer models were trained to vet applicants by observing patterns
in resumes submitted to the company over a 10-year period. Most came from men, a reflection of male
dominance across the tech industry.
94
In effect, Amazon’s system taught itself that male candidates were preferable. It punished
resumes that included the word “women’s,” as in “women’s chess club captain.” And it downgraded
graduates of two all-women’s colleges.
Amazon edited the programs to make them neutral to these particular terms. But that was no
guarantee that the machines would not devise other ways of sorting candidates that could prove
discriminatory, the people said.
Some 55 percent of U.S. human resources managers said artificial intelligence, or AI, would be a
regular part of their work within the next five years, according to a 2017 survey by talent software firm
CareerBuilder.
Employers have long dreamed of harnessing technology to widen the hiring net and reduce
reliance on subjective opinions of human recruiters. But computer scientists such as Nihar Shah, who
teaches machine learning at Carnegie Mellon University, say there is still much work to do.
“How to ensure that the algorithm is fair, how to make sure the algorithm is really understandable
and explainable - that’s still quite far off,” he said.

Module 2 Lesson 8 – LinkedIn’s Biased Job Matching AI and Team

Breakdown
“LinkedIn’s job-matching AI was biased. The company’s solution? More AI.”

By Sheridan Wall & Hilke Schellmann
Originally published June 23, 2021 in the MIT Technology Review
Years ago, LinkedIn discovered that the recommendation algorithms it uses to match job
candidates with opportunities were producing biased results. The algorithms were ranking candidates
partly on the basis of how likely they were to apply for a position or respond to a recruiter. The system
wound up referring more men than women for open roles simply because men are often more
aggressive at seeking out new opportunities.
LinkedIn discovered the problem and built another AI program to counteract the bias in the
results of the first. Meanwhile, some of the world’s largest job search sites—including CareerBuilder,
ZipRecruiter, and Monster—are taking very different approaches to addressing bias on their own
platforms
If you were to start looking for a new job today, artificial intelligence would very likely influence
your search. AI can determine what postings you see on job search platforms and decide whether to pass
your résumé on to a company’s recruiters. Some companies may ask you to play AI-powered video games
that measure your personality traits and gauge whether you’d be a good fit for specific roles.
In LinkedIn’s case, algorithms that recommend candidates leave out a person’s name, age, gender,
and race, because including these characteristics can contribute to bias. But a researcher’s team found
that even so, the service’s algorithms could still detect behavioral patterns exhibited by groups with
particular gender identities.
For example, while men are more likely to apply for jobs that require work experience beyond
their qualifications. The algorithm interprets this variation in behavior and adjusts its recommendations
in a way that inadvertently disadvantages women.
“You might be recommending, for example, more senior jobs to one group of people than
another, even if they’re qualified at the same level,” the researcher says.
Men also include more skills on their résumés at a lower degree of proficiency than women, and
they often engage more aggressively with recruiters on the platform.

resume and summon the courage to click send. After that, your career is in the hands of the hiring
manager.
Except that isn't always the case. In many instances, instead of your application being tossed aside
by a HR professional, it is actually artificial intelligence that is the barrier to entry. While this isn't a
problem in itself—AI can reduce workflow by rapidly filtering applicants—the issue is that within these
systems lies the possibility of bias.
It is illegal in the U.S. for employers to discriminate against a job applicant because of their race,
color, sex, religion, disability, national origin, age (40 or older) or genetic information. However, these AI
hiring tools are often inadvertently doing just that, and there are no federal laws in the U.S. to stop this
from happening.
But how can a computer system, devoid of feeling or social prejudices, discriminate?
Well, a recent example of a piece of HR AI software that may have displayed racial bias was a facial
identification tool that Uber used to conduct security tests on its drivers.
The software, created by Microsoft, has a record of not recognizing darker-skinned faces, and in
2018 there was a recorded 20.8 percent failure rate for females with darker skin, as opposed to 0 percent
when tested on white men.
Fourteen Uber couriers lost their jobs after the new security measure was adopted last April, and
claimed this was down to the AI failing to recognize their dark skin color.
An Uber spokesperson told Newsweek that while "there is always room for improvement" the
company ensures the software is "fair and important" with additional human reviews.
One researcher said these problems can arise because "many facial recognition software
programs have been trained primarily with white faces, oftentimes with white male faces."
He added: "When you've trained a program on data, it will automatically absorb whatever biases
existed in the data." However, issues around racial biases also happen because hiring AI is often trained
on historical data and classifications of race have evolved over time.

Module 3 Lesson 13 – Explore Apple Card’s Biased Credit Limits
“Apple Card Investigated After Gender Discrimination Complaints”

by Neil Vigdor
Originally published November 10, 2019 in the New York Times
Something curious happened when a husband and wife recently compared their Apple Card spending
limits.
David Heinemeier vented on Twitter that his credit line was 20 times higher than his wife’s, even
though she had a higher credit score than him. He referred to Apple Card as a “sexist program” (with an
expletive added for emphasis).
New York State regulators announced on Saturday that they would investigate the AI used by
Apple Card to determine the creditworthiness of applicants. But a spokesperson for Apple said, “Our
credit decisions are based on a customer’s creditworthiness and not on factors like gender, race, age,
sexual orientation or any other basis prohibited by law.”
Mrs. Heinemeier's experience with the Apple Card does not appear to be an isolated case.
“The same thing happened to us,” said Steve Wozniak, Apple’s co-founder. “I got 10x the credit limit. We
have no separate bank or credit card accounts.”
“My thread is full of accounts from women who’ve been declared to be worse credit risks than
their husbands, despite higher credit scores or incomes.”

Module 3 Lesson 13 – Explore Facebook’s Biased Ad-serving

Algorithm
“Facebook’s ad-serving algorithm discriminates by gender and race”

by Karen Hao
Originally published April 5, 2019 in the MIT Technology Review
New evidence shows that Facebook’s algorithm, which automatically decides who is shown an ad,
chooses those ads based on users’ demographic information, such as race and gender.
Ads for preschool teachers and secretaries, for example, were shown mostly to women, while ads
for janitors and taxi drivers were shown to a higher share of people of color. Ads about homes for sale
were also shown to more white users, while ads for rentals were shown to more people of color.
In some ways, this shouldn’t be surprising—bias in recommendation systems has been a known
issue for many years. The issue goes back to how these systems work at their core. All of them are based
on machine learning, which finds patterns in massive amounts of data and uses those patterns to make
decisions.
For example, data often reflects existing prejudices. Facebook’s advertising tool uses the historical
preferences of its users to make decisions about what ads they see. If more people of color engaged with
ads for rentals in the past, the recommendation system will identify that pattern and reapply it—forever.
It will blindly reinforce employment and housing discrimination—without being told to do so.
113
The good news is there might be ways to address this problem, but it won’t be easy. A recent
study suggests that it may be possible to restrict recommendation systems to reduce discrimination, at a
small cost to ad revenue.

Module 4 Lesson 16 – Explore AI script writing for films
“How We Made a Movie by an AI Script Writer"

By Jacob Vaus & Eli Weiss
Originally published on July 13, 2021 in Builtin
The script starts simply enough: A couple is at the end of dinner. Conversation winds down, the
wine almost finished. After a silence, the man says he wants to play a game. Enter artificial intelligence.
We developed a short film script called Date Night. We used Shortly AI, which is marketed toward
people suffering from writer’s block, encouraging writers to overcome frustration by using artificial
intelligence. The program adapts itself to your work.
That means if you’re writing a Western, it’ll bring in the cowboys. If you’re writing a space
adventure, it will maintain the atmosphere. If you’re writing a horror story, it will do its best to scare you.
Of course, a lot of the time it still deteriorates, but for a while, it can maintain a story’s tone.
To our delight, it could generate a film script. So long as we input the beginnings of a script, it
followed a screenplay format, including scene headings, dialogue and action lines. We generated a few
and decided we’d pick one to make.
The input for Date Night was as follows:
INT. BENNY’S HOUSE – NIGHT
BENNY and JULIA (BOTH 20’S) sit at two ends of a long table, drinking wine.
BENNY: I wanna play a li’l game. It’s a li’l crazy, it’s a li’l fun, but it’ll blow your mind.
We generated three variations of the script. In the first, Benny accuses Julia of being pregnant and
not loving him. In the second, the dinner becomes a paranormal mystery when Benny disappears,
leading Julia to search for him. In the version we ended up filming, Benny hypnotizes Julia and proceeds
to dance on the table. When he leaps off, he has control of her body and keeps her from moving. She
escapes by slapping him and mutters, “I felt weird.”
At this point, the AI struggled to stay on track. The characters often reorient themselves to new,
swinging emotions and live in a kind of heightened, melodramatic reality. Toward the film’s end, they
even talk about the movie itself, referring to prior, fictional events.
116
In the action lines, the AI indicated: “(A looming pause) JULIA: ‘I think we’re in a movie.’”
“Remind me, what’s it about?” Benny asks, referencing the very movie he’s in. “He hypnotizes her,”
Julia says. “It gets dark.”
At times, the AI even made typos. For example, when Benny should say “Just now,” it wrote, “Nust
now.” That gave a touch of realism to the proceedings.
Satisfied with the AI’s work, we set out to put our messy, frantic script on screen.

Module 4 Lesson 16 – Explore AI facial emotion recognition
“Using artificial intelligence and emotion recognition for PR”

By Iva Djukic
Originally published on July 21, 2020 in sotrender
Aside from declaring your emotions verbally, there are other ways that we can let each other
know how we’re feeling. Your muscles might spasm, you might start looking away, or start slouching.
These are visual cues that give us a hint that you might be feeling a certain way.
AI has a long way to go before it can perfectly recognize emotions. A classic theory of emotions
states that there are six universal human emotions and that you can find them expressed similarly in
different cultures. Critics argue that the current AI technology can only process exaggerated expressions
and that their training sets are not diverse enough.
How does emotion recognition work?

The AI will try to determine your emotional expression based on several factors such as the
location of your eyebrows, eyes, and how your mouth is positioned. These models detect 8 emotions:
neutral, happy, sad, surprise, fear, disgust, anger, and contempt in faces. In case you’re wondering, this is
how some of those are classified:
118
Visualizing the emotion recognition model
The process that these images undergo is actually fairly simple to understand when you visualize
it. First off, we need an image with faces. This is the input image that we’re going to analyze.
The next step is to feed the input image into the face detector model.
119
And finally we’re at the emotion classification step. We’ll feed these images into the second model
to try to recognize their emotions. The images will no longer be cropped, but instead be presented as the
original image with a prediction.
Analyzing Elon Musk’s emotions in pictures on social media

We took 130 images from Musk’s Instagram profile. We ended up analyzing only 76 images where
his face appeared using our emotion extractor model. After that, we simply calculated the percentages of
the different emotions that came up in our analysis. Here’s how often each emotion was portrayed:
Are you surprised that the man who wants to create a colony on Mars comes across as neutral in
56% of the images we analyzed? The model only detected happiness in 16% of the images we worked
with. Interestingly, he only appeared to be expressing fear in 1% of the images. Given what he posts on
his other social media profiles, that one isn’t as surprising.

Module 4 Lesson 16 – Explore AI and the US-Mexico border
“The “smarter” wall: How drones, sensors, and AI are patrolling the border”
By Shirin Ghaffary
Originally published on February 7, 2020 in Vox
There is one kind of border wall

increasingly being talked about — one that
proponents pitch as being less costly, less
disruptive, and less politically controversial
than a physical barrier: a so-called “smart
wall.”
The vision is to build an ocean-to-ocean
technological barrier made up of a patchwork
of tools like drones and sensors to help
identify unauthorized individuals crossing the
border, specifically in remote stretches of land
between established ports of entry.
Many have raised serious ethical and
human rights objections to building this virtual
wall. Some research has suggested that the last major effort to increase technology at the border may
have contributed to an increase in the number of deaths of migrants crossing the border, because they
were forced into taking more treacherous routes to avoid detection.
And then there are the privacy concerns. Major civil liberty and digital privacy groups have argued
that a hypothetical virtual wall integrating technology — like facial recognition and drones — could propel
a state of perpetual surveillance that would infringe on the human rights of immigrants and US citizens
alike.
Nevertheless, the idea of bolstering a technological wall has backing from key politicians on both
sides of the aisle.
“In this 21st century, we have challenges, and I think we can use 21st-century solutions instead of
a 14th-century solution called the wall,” one proponent said. “Even if you put in a fence, ‘bad guys’ can use
drones to carry drugs over that fence. So we have to be more flexible, more agile.”
Politicians who control the purse for security spending find a smart wall’s cost-effectiveness
appealing over extending a physical wall that could cost millions of dollars per mile.
121
“We can literally do technology for pennies on the dollar as compared to a physical wall,” said
another proponent. He had recently come back from a trip to the border, where he said he talked to
families who lived and farmed there and were worried about seeing their businesses destroyed by a
physical barrier that could divide their land.
“This is about truly securing the southern border without ripping farms apart, without creating a
zone that people won’t be able to utilize,” he said.
As the past year has shown, employees at companies like Google, Microsoft, and Amazon have
grown increasingly critical of government uses of their technology for defense and surveillance purposes.
Several firms, including Microsoft and Salesforce, have faced criticism from their workforce over
contracts with ICE and Customs and Border Protection, respectively.

Module 4 Lesson 16 – Explore AI-powered self-driving tractors
“John Deere’s self-driving tractor lets farmers leave the cab — and the field”
By James Vincent
Originally published on January 4, 2022 in The Verge
Agricultural equipment maker John Deere has

announced its latest piece of autonomous farming kit: a
package of hardware and software that combines
machine learning with the company’s GPS-powered auto-
steer features to create a “fully autonomous tractor.”
The technology to support autonomous farming
has been developing rapidly in recent years, but John
Deere claims this is a significant step forward. With this
technology, farmers will not only be able to take their
hands off the wheel of their tractor or leave the cab —
they’ll be able to leave the field altogether, letting the equipment do the work without them while
monitoring things remotely using their smartphone.
The farming world has arguably made more consistent progress with autonomous driving than
automakers or tech startups, mostly due to the simplicity of the task at hand. Although plowing or
seeding a field is certainly a difficult job — requiring farmers to navigate the contours of their land while
operating complicated equipment — the driving component is relatively straightforward: operators follow
set lines without having to worry about pedestrians or other road users.
The company’s autonomy kit includes six pairs of stereo cameras that capture a 360-degree view
around the tractor. This input is then analyzed by machine vision algorithms, which spot unexpected
obstacles.
Although John Deere is presenting this as an autonomous system, it’s worth noting that there are
humans in the loop, and not just farmers. When the company’s algorithms spot something unexpected,
images from the cameras will be sent to “tele-operators” — essentially a call center of third-party
contractors who will manually check if the obstacle is a false positive or if the problem has resolved itself.
Driving a tractor isn’t just about steering around obstacles, and farmers also have to check that
their equipment is working and adjust it to environmental changes. A John Deere spokesperson says the
company’s software can monitor some of these variables, like checking that individual shanks on tillage
tools are still operational, but there are bound to be other issues.

The Hype
Cyrus
Detective, Cybercrime Division
As someone who’s had a long career in law enforcement, I’m incredibly excited to see this new technology
come to life. You have no idea how hard it can be to track down certain types of lawbreakers, especially people
who commit cybercrimes. Most times these criminals don’t show their faces to their victims, and there’s no
database for matching speech recordings with names. Imagine having a computer do all the work for you, figuring
out someone’s identity just from an audio file. If we had a mugshot to go off of, we could easily search our
databases to find a match and catch the perpetrator. This technology seems like the next best thing.
In a recent case I had, the victim took a cell phone video of someone taking over her computer. They
asked her to install some software and she didn’t realize it would allow them to download whatever files they
wanted. She didn’t know how to stop them. Even though the victim was proactive and had recorded the guy’s
voice, we couldn’t figure out his identity. Unfortunately, she lost around $700 due to her bank account
information being stolen. I think this technology could have helped us track him down.
My only worry is how quickly it would work. Would it take a long time for the computer to come up with
an image? Sometimes minutes can make a difference.

My company specializes in animating talking characters for text-to-speech applications. We help

make reading more accessible for many students with disabilities. It’s a really great feature to be able to
watch someone talk to you, because it feels more real than a disembodied voice. We animate facial
expressions and emotions based on the text, which helps students understand what they’re hearing.
Our next step is personalization. We want the animated character to be able to look like a real
person. Imagine having your grandma there to read with you whenever you need her. Or have your
teacher be on call to help you with geometry. We can already imitate their voices, but now we can
generate a familiar-looking animated character alongside that.
These personalized cartoons using Speech2Face will help us make learning more a lot more fun
for students that use text-to-speech. We expect to see improved learning and engagement scores
because of this technology. I can’t wait to see the smiles this brings to the children we serve.

The Backlash
Natalie
AI Researcher
My first thought when I saw this AI application was, “this is hot garbage.” It seems cool on the
surface, but when you dig a little deeper, it kind of falls apart. Basically what this application does is put
people into boxes based on their voice. This application only identifies a person’s ethnicity correctly
about 61% of the time, and it’s only 41% accurate for Black speakers and 55% accurate for South Asian
speakers. That’s a serious issue.
And what about people like me? As a trans woman, this technology annoys me. Trans people
have to go through a lot just for basic acceptance. Presenting as a certain gender can feel complicated
and personal. And along comes Speech2Face to mess with that delicate process. I’ll put it this way:
imagine what you would NOT want to look like. Now imagine this technology makes you look like that.
About 1.4 million adults in the US identify as transgender. I would advocate for a technology that
doesn’t put people into boxes they might not identify with. Why are we still worrying about checking off
“male” or “female” instead of getting the faces to look accurate for everyone?
Let’s get better data, people. Come on.

Government Whistleblower
Imagine looking over your shoulder everywhere you go. Obsessing over your location data.
Never knowing when you might be caught.
That’s my life. I work a regular job in government but I also act as an undercover informant for a
national news source. I won’t specify what my job is, but I have security clearance for a lot of classified
documents. I recently helped reveal the number of civilian deaths caused by drone strikes last year.
Before that, I shared info about how top politicians were taking bribes for military contracts. So, some
pretty sensitive stuff. Stuff the public needs to know.
This technology is going to scare a lot of whistleblowers like me. I don’t know if I’ll be able to
continue my work if Speech2Face becomes widely available. Journalists need to be able to record our
conversations to show that they’re legit and even to remember what I say. Now if these recordings are
leaked, everyone will know what I look like. That’s a problem for me. I would be putting my husband
and son at risk.
From my perspective, this technology threatens our national security. And for what, to make
some cartoons? We need to get our priorities straight.

The Response
The Speech2Face Team

AI Entrepreneurs
We want to thank everyone who gave us feedback on our new application. We made
Speech2Face to push the limits of AI. We’re proud of how accurate our technology is, but we know it
isn’t perfect. After a lot of thought, we have decided to make some changes.
We always knew we didn’t have great data. But we didn’t take a closer look until Natalie brought
the perspective of trans and gender-nonconforming people to our attention. We decided to ditch our
old data, this time choosing a dataset with more gender diverse individuals. We also moved to 3
categories instead of 2 for gender: male, female, and nonbinary. Because of this change, our
application now performs about 3% better overall when generating faces. It is about 39% accurate for
nonbinary people and 68% accurate overall.
We also wanted to consider the perspective of whistleblowers, individuals in witness protection,
and others who may want to remain anonymous. What we can promise on our end is to never provide
our technology to law enforcement officials. However, we are in talks with tech giant Glegoo, which
might buy Speech2Face. We unfortunately can’t tell Glegoo what to do with our technology once we sell
it, but we do know they have the best intentions.
Thank you again to everyone who shared their thoughts with us. We know that together we can
build a more ethical AI landscape.
