Amazon ditched AI recruitment software because it was biased against women

The data on which the artificial-intelligence algorithm was trained created a preference for male candidates. The news: According to a report by Reuters, Amazon began developing an automated system in 2014 to rank job seekers with one to five stars. But last year, the company scrapped the project after seeing it had developed a preference for male candidates in technical roles. The AI tool was trained on 10 years' worth of résumés the company had received. Because tech is a male-dominated industry, the majority of those résumés came from men.
