The Shortcomings of Current AI Bias Mitigation Strategies

Current strategies for mitigating AI bias, especially concerning women in tech, reveal notable shortcomings. Many of these approaches tend to focus on technical fixes, such as adjusting datasets or altering algorithms, without tackling the broader societal and organizational biases that feed into the AI systems. This narrow focus can result in solutions that are only surface-level, failing to address the deeper, ingrained prejudices against women in tech fields. Consequently, while some improvements may be noted, these strategies often fall short of fostering significant change for women in the tech industry.
