copy - pasted from @snehilsanyal Draft Outline

Hey fellow CV Course Contributors and Reviewers 🤗

This issue discusses an initial draft for the unit Ethics and Bias. We read a few posts, blogs searched through datasets, and created this simple and brief outline. Please feel free to share your views on this, for us to improve this unit.

We prepare this unit by combining theoretical concepts, case studies, and practical examples, and finally close with HuggingFace's mission and efforts to emphasize Ethical AI for Society. The structure is slightly inspired by HF Audio Course.
