I’ve worked in tech. The overt bias observed in the common worker (male dominated) is palatable and is undoubtedly interjected into the work.

You’re dealing with a technology that will have an impact on everyone everywhere.

If you don’t want to include them in the development, and are unable to police yourselves on addressing the inherent biases, then I don’t think you can complain.

Again, those potentially at a greater likelihood to affected won’t sit by and wait.

Approach the problem proactively or public opinion will force a solution upon it regardless.
