AI discrimination

Tech Life

Available for over a year

This week we're looking at artificial intelligence and how it can discriminate against us, affecting our chances of getting work or being approved for a loan. What causes it ? On the flip side - could it be AI to the rescue ? We learn about a computer model that predicts the behaviour of people who go missing. Could it help emergency services find those lost in the wilderness ? And Tech Life's gaming expert gets hands-on with the new Nintendo Switch 2. You can tell us about the one item of tech that you use in your life everyday – please get in touch by emailing [email protected] or send us a Whatsapp message or voice memo on +44 330 1230 320. Presenter: Chris Vallance Producer: Tom Quinn Editor: Monica Soriano (Image: A hand holds a magnifying glass with the word BIAS magnified on a white background. Credit: Getty Images)
