“I stood up against an AI system that was biased.”
AI is trained on human data — which means it inherits every bias we've ever encoded into our systems. When you challenge a biased algorithm, you're not fighting technology. You're fighting the laziness of the people who built it without caring who it harms. That takes courage because the system is designed to look objective. You saw through it.
Your Practice
Document what you found — the specific bias, who it affected, and what you did about it. Share it with someone who needs to know. If you reported it to the company and nothing changed, go wider. Bias in AI isn't a glitch — it's a decision someone made by not caring enough. Your pushback is the correction.
