• Developers: The last source of AI bias is developers. Those who design AI models focus on achieving the
                desired goals. On that path at times, the biases of the developers are reflected in their models. It's important to
                note here that ethics and AI bias are not the problems of the machines but of the humans behind the machines.


              AI Access
              AI access can be acquired by two means:

                 • Data availability: AI needs access to huge data sets so that it can analyse, draw conclusions, and learn from
                them.
                 • Abilities: AI needs access to capable hardware to turn its learning into useful action. Self-driven cars are
                examples of AI with right access.

              AI is used on bigger, faster and more expensive machines. AI is a privilege that only a few people can afford and
              take advantage of this new technology. This has created a gap between these two classes of people and it gets
              widened with the rapid advancement of technology.
