No, remediating such issues (only predicting the maximum likelihood class in the dataset) is a problem of _machine learning and optimization_ research, not ethics research. There is nothing an ethicist can do to solve this problem. It is easy to point out problems with existing AI and write a bunch of papers to get yourself tenure. It is very hard to fundamentally advance our understanding of deep learning models past a fancy maximum likelihood estimation problem. |

Ethics education is (unfortunately) not really seen as necessary across the tech field, which is why ethics researchers need to be part of at all stages of AI development.
And for what it's worth, ethics researchers should be part of all technology development - the "racist soap dispenser" should have been more than enough proof of how even a very simple, innocent product can contribute to ethnic discrimination.
