These robots were trained on AI. They became racist and sexist.

The article is of dubious merit, unless you are looking for sensationalism. If you click on the link to the first study you only need to read the abstract to find out why the claim is of little import.

The methodology of imparting a knowledge base into the AI that becomes biased, is in and of itself composed of biased content. To teach the AI, it is given images of human faces. With each face came language that described the individual. In addition to factual statements, the attached verbiage included stereotypes. HELLO! If you feed someone solely biased information, and keep them in an information vacuum, what else can it produce but a biased entity?

Whither worthy journalism...
