Seems to me that Google is trying to deal with ingrained bias contained in all of the data it slurps up. I think this is an issue that all AI has to deal with. It is inevitable that content which AI produces will become part of the data AI uses to build its models. If no action is take that echo chamber will intensify those biases on every iteration.

It looks as if Google is trying to tackle the problem in a somewhat piecemeal way, and have got it wrong. But from an AI perspective its no worse than people with 8 fingers or whatever, just more shocking.

I would rather that those working on AI were aware of the issue and getting it wrong, than simply not caring at all. Our children don't deserve to live in a world even more distorted than the one we live in.
