I consider it very important to fight bias in AI, but I fundamentally do not understand this article's take. The thing stopping AI researchers from obtaining unbiased training data is not that we're waiting for laywers to give us permission. The thing stopping us is that the right training data is already hard to find, and unbiased training data is the hardest of all to find because it doesn't exist. Google, for example, does not need permission. They can acquire and train on basically any data they want if they put their mind to it. And Google is completely shit at deploying unbiased AI. (They write great blog posts and presentations about it! Then they don't do it in their actual products.) You won't just find a naturally unbiased dataset. The way to fight AI bias is deliberately and artificially, like in Bolukbasi et al. [1] [1] https://arxiv.org/abs/1607.06520 https://arxiv.org/abs/1607.06520
