The algorithm will expand to all languages in which Google offers Search, but there is no set timeline, yet, said Google’s Danny Sullivan. A BERT model is also being used to improve featured ...

For example, AI systems can lower diagnostic errors by 85% in breast cancer and AI cybersecurity can reduce the average time to neutralize attacks from 101 days to a few hours.

They cite examples of algorithms including a tool that estimates Black and Latina women have a smaller chance of a successful vaginal birth after a prior cesarean section.

The news is full of these examples, ranging from computer-judged beauty contests that took points off for dark skin to AI-driven recruiting algorithms that were biased against women.
