It is simply taking our old biases, repackaging them in code and returning them with a stamp of technological \u201cobjectivity.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"numOfImg\">4<\/span> View gallery <\/p>\n<p><span class=\"mobileView\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"ReduxEditableImage_ArticleImageData.rJguC3TLezl\" src=\"https:\/\/ynet-pic1.yit.co.il\/cdn-cgi\/image\/format=auto\/picserver6\/crop_images\/2020\/03\/10\/9837705\/9837705_0_0_1070_505_0_x-large.jpg\" alt=\"\u05d1\u05d9\u05e0\u05d4 \u05de\u05dc\u05d0\u05db\u05d5\u05ea\u05d9\u05ea \u05d0-\u05de\u05d2\u05d3\u05e8\u05d9\u05ea\" title=\"Who exactly is teaching machines what the world is supposed to look like?

This is no longer just a question of who gets promoted and who is left behind. It is a question of who is building the systems that increasingly make decisions for us, what data they learn from, what assumptions they replicate, and who can even understand what is happening inside that black box.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-offset-key=\"8n6va-0-0\"><span data-text=\"true\">Dr. Gayle Gilboa-Freedman, head of the Faculty of Technology at Sapir Academic College and an artificial intelligence researcher, does not try to soften the picture. In her view, the discussion about gender bias in AI is only the tip of the iceberg. \u201cWe are in a loss of control around the entire issue of AI, and it is also reflected in the gender context,\u201d she says.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-offset-key=\"e9f1c-0-0\"><span data-text=\"true\">\u201cWhen you ask AI to write a CV for a man and a woman for example, the answers are different. Or if you ask it to identify male or female faces, there are more errors when it comes to female faces. Now take that into airport security for example, and you have a serious problem.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-offset-key=\"4ttju-0-0\"><span data-text=\"true\">A simpler example comes from language itself. Gilboa-Freedman says she asked ChatGPT to translate two English sentences: \u201cThe doctor gave me medicine\u201d and \u201cThe nurse cleaned&#8230;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ynetnews.com\/tech-and-digital\/article\/by9yftlemg\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Artificial intelligence inherits human bias, reinforcing gender stereotypes https:\/\/www.ynetnews.com\/tech-and-digital\/article\/by9yftlemg Publish Date: 2026-05-29 04:49:00 Source Domain:&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":260121,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/ynet-pic1.yit.co.il\/picserver6\/crop_images\/2020\/03\/10\/9837705\/9837705_173_0_898_505_0_large.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[57],"class_list":["post-260120","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-security"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/260120"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=260120"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/260120\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":260122,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/260120\/revisions\/260122"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/260121"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=260120"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=260120"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=260120"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
