Examples of AI bias in real life Healthcare—Underrepresented data of women or minority groups can skew predictive AI algorithms. For example, computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) systems have been found to return lower accuracy results for black patients than white patients.
“When women use some AI-powered systems to diagnose illnesses, they often receive inaccurate answers, because the AI is not aware of symptoms that may present differently in women.”

This transparency allows for external auditing and ensures that the AI systems comply with anti-discrimination laws.
An example is when a facial recognition system is less accurate in identifying people of color or when a language translation system associates certain languages with certain genders or stereotypes.
