中国の囲碁教室で人間ではなくAIが指導したところ、男女の実力差がほぼ解消されました。
www.nikkei.com/article/DGXZQO...
分析によると、人間の教師は無意識だとしても男女で異なる態度を示していました。
生徒や部下を「自分は公平に評価している」と思っても、それを客観的にみるのはとても難しいです。
人材管理でAIを活用すると、無意識のバイアスが可視化され、より公平な評価・指導が可能になる可能性があります。

囲碁、AIの指導で女子の上達顕著 山口慎太郎氏 多様性 私の視点（東京大学教授） - 日本経済新聞
あなたは部下を本当に公平に評価できているだろうか。評価者の無意識のバイアスが存在すると指摘されて久しいが、それを客観的に把握し、正すのは容易ではない。誰もが「自分は公平に評価している」と信じているからこそ問題は根深い。そんな中、中国の囲碁教室での取り組みが、この課題解決へのヒントを示している。［注1］新型コロナウイルス対策で教師が隔離され、代わりに人工知能（AI）が指導を担当することになったの
