By Prosenjit Datta, former editor of Business Today and Businessworld magazines
Technology per se may not have feelings but it can suffer from two human failings – biases and improper ethics. As the Indian government and private sector prepare to use Machine Learning, Natural Language Processing and Text Analytics, Deep Learning platforms, Image recognition, Decision Management and other such technologies that are often clustered under the umbrella term of Artificial Intelligence (AI), they would do well to not only understand the benefits also the shortcomings and dangers of these technologies.

That is why a lot of discussions in the AI world is focused around biases and ethics. https://www.prosaicview.com/of-technology-biases-and-ethics/
