Why companies should start establishing ethics codes for AI

As companies begin to adopt artificial intelligence (AI) in a widespread way, they must be careful not to build the biases of the past into the algorithms they are using to deploy AI, says Genpact President and CEO Tiger Tyagarajan. For example, suppose an algorithm is based on a pattern that shows only men in leadership positions because in the context of the past, deserving women were never promoted. That pattern will be replicated unless humans intervene with judgment that corrects for this bias.
