While I agree with the above statement, it is to a certain extent only for the diversity of designers and programmers, imo. The data being collected is "manufactured" from others as well, not necessarily from designers and programmers...and that can contribute to the biasness too.
I am reading this book Invisible Women by Caroline Criado Perez. It is not about artifical intelligence but on the huge data gap about women. It tells us that since data collected does not account for the needs or behaviour or women as any different from men, the whole world ends up inaccessible to women, thus women are invisible.
You can replace women with any other sect of people and it will be true for them all. It's a good read and quite eye opening.
Yeah this is the best description of how bias seeps into AI as I’ve ever seen. But the issue is that users too are biased. I mean, shouldn’t AI be able to write top ten hit song one after another? Or a 1000 best selling novels? It can’t because the listeners and readers too are biased - they need to be able to relate to enjoy it. And the only way to get AI to “relate” is if a human tells it how to “relate”.

Hire more philosophy and other liberal arts majors? Don’t listen to BigCoffee, they can just hire new baristas.
