"So realizing that, first of all, it's not as safe as you think it is. You don't have a say in this, you can't really say no, you can't use why information to make the process better, or use it to make the processes better."

"What we need to have is awareness and spread this awareness amongst each other who don't know much about the fact that startups or other companies can access your information."

"Bias is not always bad depends on the application itself and the objective."

"It's impossible to not have any bias, it's impossible to be fully objective, there's always subjectivity, and we cannot be random."

"If I use predictive models to make a prescription that are making the real discriminations between potential usual users, that's where you don't allow the freewill of the user to enter into places."

"It actually depends because there's two different types of bias, right? There's bias, which is very kind of totally right."

"But there are different levels of bias and how it actually gets applied, and what happens to it."

"The whole model AI model design and dataset design and feature engineering should fit well with the objective that I'm trying to achieve."

"You need to safeguard the other people that are around there, you know, when you're building an online world, a virtual world that's accessible by multiple people."

"So focus on the dataset, make sure the dataset is good quality, not biased, and you'll get a good AI system."
