The Thoughts of We

How to be less human? This provocative book examines the role of computer vision in determining gender, race, and class in everyday life. The book shows how stereotypes are embedded in computer vision algorithms. This is a particularly interesting topic for managers, as it highlights the problems of hiring and firing people based on their appearance. In the film, a performer is stripped of clothing and the results reveal a discriminatory bias against women.

The authors explain that unethical behavior makes people think of themselves as less human. This self-dehumanization can lead to unethical behavior. One study showed that a group of students who felt they did not possess human qualities compared to others reported feeling less human than the other group. While this is a disturbing trend, the study offers hope for those who think they are not ethical. The researchers recommend that these students embrace their human traits in order to become more ethical.

This study demonstrates that unethical behavior can make people feel less human. It was a research study that asked participants to write about their experiences with honesty and dishonesty. Kouchaki and colleagues wanted to limit the number of memories participants would recall, and they divided the subjects into three groups. The first group wrote about the experiences they had when being dishonest, while the second group wrote about a time they were honest.
