Artificial Intelligence (AI) has already proved a vital tool in the fight against Covid-19.

Algorithmic bias is human-made; hence it can also be solved by us. Since AI can help expose the hidden truth in faulty data sets, it helps the people developing these technologies to understand the errors better if not quicker. Observing ethically questionable whirlpools in data can help us rectify our process and shift our focus into a more balanced manner of developing algorithms.
