Then the problem is in the racist human(s), not the algorithm.
- yoo1I 10y agoBut the algorithm enshrines and possibly amplifies it. Or as the old saying goes: > To err is human, to really foul things up requires a computer.
- Symmetry 10y agoHumans have much more potential for racism in making predictions about the future than in judging things that have already happened. So while I agree that racism through biased input data is a problem, I think that even with that problem machines should be substantially less racist in their judgement than the humans they're replacing even if they're not perfect.
