What does “The Man” say when AI discriminates? How does “The Man” find out?

AI applications are all around us, part of our everyday lives. Do we know we’re using AI when we use a social media website? What if the AI application is not playing fair with us? Is ubiquitousness of AI leading to a wider scale disappointment in the technology, when, it seems, no one’s looking after our – the end users’ – interests.

I will be sharing a story of a man trying to buy goods from an online hardware store. What went wrong and how these kinds of AI applications should be built in a more future-proof and sustainable way.
