One of the problems with artificial intelligence is that developers keep programming their own biases into their systems, creating algorithms that reflect the same prejudiced perspectives common in society. For that reason, a team of engineers have developed a tool that audits algorithms for biases and helps re-train them to behave more equitably. In short, the tool works like sensitivity training for algorithms.
