ML applications are expanding at a rapid rate as we now leverage pre-trained models and ML APIs from the likes of Google, Amazon, IBM, and Microsoft. Innovation comes with risk, however. By heavily depending on these trained models/transfer learning, applications are also heavily dependent on the data on which these models were trained, for better or for worse.

We will discuss the data which backs these models, how they were constructed, who and what is missing, and important effects.
