I'm not arguing for or against computers vs humans, but your argument is puzzling to me.
Computer systems are accountable, changeable, and cross-examinable. Arguably more so than humans.
I do stipulate that computer systems can be racist or otherwise biased and can be "just wrong".
- ddxxdd 7y agoI fully agree; a neural network can be continuously trained. Software can continuously perform A/B testing and change its mind when its current procedure proves inefficient. The human mind tends to be set in its ways.
- freeone3000 7y agoBut it doesn't. Current systems do not do this, but people trust in them because machine learning is "more accurate", somehow. It's a huge problem managing expectations around a black box. Online training does not happen in any form at scale. These "fair" systems are, by and large, nonsense.
