Someone made an AI that predicted gender from email addresses, usernames. It went about as well as expected

To demonstrate how garbage the tool was, someone even entered the name of Genderify’s chief operating officer, Arevik Gasparyan, who is female, for the software to analyze. Unfortunately, it predicted with over 91 per cent confidence that she was, in fact, a bloke.

Some more evidence that it's idiotic to blame power at the top for tech failings.
