You know what? Even if you do not give race as a parameter; an algorithm could be biased. It can easily learn race from secondary or tertiary parameters.
- wyager 10y agoI don't think you understood my post; giving race as a parameter allows ML algorithms to detect and counteract human racism. If an ML algorithm notices a disparity along e.g. racial lines, it's because it's actually there, not because a human imagined it.
