With AI leading technology and potentially all Information Systems, it is being increasingly acknowledged that AI agents and systems are becoming the new challenge to the ethics of technology particularly when it comes to biases along race and gender lines. For example, the recent recruitment algorithm development by Amazon to sort resumes for job applications displayed gender biases by downgrading resumes which contained the word "women" or which contained reference to women's colleges. In this case, the algorithm was trained on historical data and the preferential recruitment of males. Ultimately Amazon could not fix this biased algorithm and had to drop it.

Do you think the currently male dominated AI industry and the discriminatory systems and products it produces should be left alone to self-regulate and address and resolve their ethical pitfalls? Or should there be increasingly more pressure by professional organizations to create new Ai codes of ethics, or even regulators to address AI rising current and future ethical issues. From your point of view what can be done?
