Is equity, inclusion, and diversity in AI a solved problem?

I’ve written a lot of stories lately about AI. AI is critical to our future of automation ... robots ... relf-driving cars ... drones ... and … everything: smart homes, smart factories, safety & security, environmental protection and restoration.

Is that solved? Is that over?
