Hilarious. The nyt accused AI researchers of being white, which is preposterous. (Maybe they aren't black but many are Asian)<p>Now it is true they trend male. Particularly true if they are not white.
Sorry to see these thin skinned boys preventing discussion of a legitimate problem.<p>There's nothing prejudicial about noting a deficiency or proposing a more fully rounded environment.
moving my brilliant comment from dup thread: Really gets to the nature of what we mean by the term "intellgence". It's _gender_ specific. A lot of times in AI you'll hear people talk about a no gender robot thinking for itself. But we have no examples of genderless intellegent humans. intellgence implies gender.
This PC thing that keeps blaming White Men for everything is hilarious.<p>Maybe there are not data sets made by woman cause woman don't take their time to contribute to them? But of course that's men fault... white men fault as usual.
I wonder if this woman thinks we have a "sea of chicks" problem in elementary education since mostly women are training our <i>actual</i> intelligence.
So the people who created the field are nothing more than "a sea of dudes". What an ignorant and sexist viewpoint. Bloomberg and Microsoft should be ashamed.<p>We need to stop being ok with racism and sexism against <i>anyone</i>. White males included.
