The findings suggest that an increase in female representation and diversity in public organizations leads to an improvement in the measured level of organizational integrity. We found, however, that incidents of

Diversity and Inclusion in Artificial Intelligence
Discrimination and bias are inherent problems of manyAI applications, as seen in, for instance, face recognition systems not recognizing dark-skinned women and content moderator tools silencing drag queens online. These outcomes may derive from limited datasets that do not fully represent society as a whole or from the AI scientific community’s western-male configuration bias. Although being a pressing issue, understanding
