GI-Geschäftsführer @DanielKrupka umgeben von geballter KI-Kompetenz: Auf einem Panel zum #Weltfrauentag im @bmbf_bund ging es um den #GenderBias in #KI. Mit dabei: BMBF-Abteilungsleiterin Tina Klüwer, CTO Kenza Ait Si Abbou Lyadini, Lucie Flek von der Universität Bonn und Kinga Schumacher vom @DFKI. Wichtiger Takeaway: Viele Modelle entwickeln Biases durch die Interaktion mit den Nutzenden – hierfür braucht es Awareness und kontinuierliche Kontrolle.
Something I did not know about licensed pilots...I know a few. Given the current regime I doubt there is much change going to happen on this.
Fascinating. Also relatively simple.

Interesting for #gender studies: When asking @Kagi to translate a Swedish sentence to Ukraininan, it gives both masculine and feminine form of the verb. This is absolutely correct, I did not give any gendered info. BUT: When translating the same sentence from English, it only gives the masculine form …

Another thing I'm sick of seeing are all these commercials for erectile dysfunction that use sexually loaded imagery bordering on porn designed to stimulate men while the #GOP wants to make not only #abortion & abortion pills but also #contraception for #women illegal.
Talk about male #GenderBias.
Hard to believe that slut shaming is still a thing nowadays but apparently the sexual revolution has missed yet another generation. If you ever wonder why there are women in the public eye proudly flaunting their sexuality, this is it. To help get rid of the shame around enjoying sex.

#SanFrancisco Superior Court #Judge rejects #Cupertino based #AppleComputer #legal efforts to stifle female #employee #lawsuit over alleged illegal #SexDiscrimination.
A female employee discovered a male colleague’s #TaxReturn form that showed him making $10k more for performing the same job title, a violation of California's landmark #EqualPayAct . Another #litigant hired a third party firm to investigate her #WageClaims and proved she was receiving less pay than male colleagues, and when Apple agreed to her raise, refused her any #BackPay for the years during which she was consistently paid less than men performing similar work.
The court found #Plaintiffs had sufficiently alleged that Apple’s #salary decisions were made in a centralized location pursuant to a #chauvinistic #employment compensation scheme that clearly perpetuates pay disparities due to #GenderBias.
The lawsuit could receive #ClassAction status as there are more than 12,000 female #APPL employees in #California potentially impacted by secret pact under ultimate leadership of #TimCook and cabal of other misogynistic policy enforcing execs.
#Plaintiff #legalteam include lawyers from three firms: Altshuler Berzon LLP, Cohen Milstein Sellers & Toll PLLC, and Outten & Golden LLP.
Yeah. Gender bias. Another belief we shouldn't teach our children. The solution if often grueling: read this.

@marisa When I was a student teacher, many decades ago, I researched gender bias in the classroom. My rationale at the time was that I didn't think there was any, so I must have been missing something. Boy did I learn! (for reference, if any of this is relevant, it was 1987-88 and I was 23. And male 
)
The surprising thing was that practices that favoured good education for boys over girls were shown to be in use by male AND female teachers. And the tendency of women to second-guess themselves (in contrast to the male tendency to consider themselves practically faultless – 
, and 
) was present even in women that I thought were minor deities - Amazing teachers, some Ph.D.s in the mix, you name it. From then on, I made it a point to try to tip the scales in the other direction. I'm sure I fell into the usual rut on occasion, but *most* of the time I kept the bias in mind and tried to correct for it.
"The experiment used 554 resumes and 571 job descriptions taken from real-world documents.
The researchers then doctored the resumes, swapping in 120 first names generally associated with people who are male, female, Black and/or white. The jobs included were chief executive, marketing and sales manager, miscellaneous manager, human resources worker, accountant and auditor, miscellaneous engineer, secondary school teacher, designer, and miscellaneous sales and related worker.
The results demonstrated gender and race bias, said Wilson, as well as intersectional bias when gender and race are combined.
One surprising result: the technology preferred white men even for roles that employment data show are more commonly held by women, such as HR workers.
This is just the latest study to reveal troubling biases with AI models — and how to fix them is “a huge, open question,” Wilson said.
It’s difficult for researchers to probe commercial models as most are proprietary black boxes, she said. And companies don’t have to disclose patterns or biases in their results, creating a void of information around the problem."
A college tried to reduce gender bias in student evaluations of faculty, but the efforts produced no change. 
Faculty members at the University of Tokyo who have had enough of the status quo recently launched a poster campaign highlighting sexist remarks made to female scholars, calling out the university's gender imbalance. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/10/10/japan/society/japan-university-gender-imbalance/ #japan #society #education #universities #universityoftokyo #women039sissues #genderbias
Back on the bird site, I would always post a yearly comparison of all Physics #NobelPrize laureates by name and by gender, showing how much more common winners named, e.g., "David" were than women.
With three female laureates since 2018 and based on people seeming to get tired of me posting them, I had stopped...
But there's a new John, meaning As many people named John have won the #PhysicsNobelPrize since 2005 as women have ever. #Science #GenderBias #NobelsSoMale #NobelPrize2024
#GenderBias: Evidence from 8 studies shows that men and women were more than twice as likely to describe a male (vs. female) professional by surname in domains, such as science, literature, and politics.
