So maybe we should not be using opaque ML algorithms for life-and-death situations to begin with? Instead of, you know, hoping that whomever is screwed by them

So maybe we should not be using opaque ML algorithms for life-and-death situations to begin with? Instead of, you know, hoping that whomever is screwed by them has an active advocacy group in places like MIT.
- mikeash 7y agoUsing NL for such things hasn’t been working too great, so it seems worthwhile to try for something better.
- hprotagonist 7y agosuch as?
- mikeash 7y agoAre you asking for examples where NL hasn’t done well or for potential ways to do better?
- hprotagonist 7y agothe latter. It’s relatively easy to say “stop doing X”; it’s harder to say “...and have you considered Y instead?”
- mikeash 7y agoI’d hope it was obvious from context that ML was the potential way to do better here.
- hprotagonist 7y agoI read you as saying that it was the thing doing poorly and that some superior object detection method was required. What that approach could be is totally unobvious to me.
- mikeash 7y agoMaybe you missed my too-subtle use of “NL” to describe natural learning i.e. squishy meat computers.
