Testing a scenario from a book I am reading, “Co‑Intelligence” reminded me that bias doesn’t just live in people; it quietly shows up in the systems we build too. In this example, the AI assumed the assistant was female and the lawyer male.

Metacognition: The Human Skill That Keeps Us Ahead of AI
AI is getting smarter every day.
