Gender Bias in Artificial Intelligence

Good ML algorithms have bad gender biasing and go sexist most of the time. There are many challenging problems that we implicitly face but tend to ignore. These small biasing in minds do result in a big disparity in the crowd all over the world. In this conference, we will tackle this problem and try to explore ways to solve it.
