Why AI Hates Left-Handed People—And What It Says About Who Else It’s Discarding
Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently made a striking remark about artificial intelligence: “If you ask AI to draw a man writing with his left hand, it will most likely generate a man drawing with the right hand.” At first glance, this seems like a quirky observation. But beneath the surface lies a profound critique of...
