Description: The neglect of diversity refers to the omission of diverse perspectives in the development of artificial intelligence (AI) systems, which can result in biased algorithms and models. This phenomenon occurs when development teams do not include a variety of voices, experiences, and backgrounds in the design and training process of AI. The lack of diversity can lead to the creation of systems that perpetuate stereotypes, discrimination, and social inequalities, negatively affecting minority groups. The neglect of diversity is not only an ethical issue but can also compromise the effectiveness and accuracy of AI systems, as these models may not generalize well to diverse populations. Including diverse perspectives is crucial to ensure that AI operates fairly and equitably, reflecting the complexity of the society in which it is implemented. In an increasingly interconnected world, the neglect of diversity can have significant consequences, from erroneous decisions in various sectors to biases in hiring and criminal justice. Therefore, addressing this neglect is fundamental for the responsible and ethical development of artificial intelligence, promoting a future where technology benefits everyone, leaving no one behind.
