Artificial Intelligence and Bias: Implications for Women and Minorities
Editor's Note
In this Edition, we will delve into the critical intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and bias, specifically focusing on its implications for women and minority communities in Pakistan. In a world increasingly dependent on AI, it is essential to shed light on the challenges and opportunities it presents for marginalised communities.
This Edition highlights the undeniable reality that AI systems, while powerful and transformative, often reflect the biases inherent in the data they are trained on. Our contributors have carefully crafted articles exploring this issue’s multifaceted dimensions.
I want you to immerse yourself in these insightful articles as we seek to empower our readers to navigate the complex landscape of AI and bias, driving positive change for a more inclusive and equitable future.
With as much love as ever,
Maryam Saeed
