Abstract

With the development of society in general, morality is also evolving. Some may argue that racial equality will be eventually achieved. However, this optimistic thought may be really hard to realize, especially under the development of artificial intelligence because AI (Artificial Intelligence) is invented by humans, and it is humans who code and input the codes into the artificial intelligence system. If anyone of the inventors or programmers is racially biased, the algorithms they code will also be racially discriminated against minorities. Based on the document study and summary, this paper will examine the aspects of AI causing racial discrimination, existing solutions and possible solutions. At the end of the study, this paper presents that although there are some laws and public policies that may be helpful to racial discrimination, they are not enough. The solutions should not only limit to the state level but also should include company and individual levels. Lastly, in order to overcome racial discrimination, only focusing on algorithms or AI itself is not enough. Discrimination comes from multiple aspects, and if society cannot dedicate to trying to solve all of them, the concept or the mindset of racial crimination can still have a negative impact on AI eventually.
