Tyler Cowen at Marginal Revolution wrote something, a mere sentence, which impressed me, impressed me so much I misremembered it as "what will robots learn from us?" (Cowen wrote "A.I.s" but "robots" is the term I like, which I think can include all forms of artificial intelligence.)
It's a good question--mostly robots and other forms of artificial intelligence learn what humans have already learned, at least the humans living in the world of robots, etc.That means, by definition, that they will be biased.
I wrote "mostly" because for example robots which learn to walk, learn what it means in terms of their motors, gears, and levers--their bodies--not what it means for humans to walk So robots do experience the world somewhat differently than humans. Possibly robots won't learn some things from us; it's hard to say.
