- shadowgovt 7y agoAn army of social workers raised in the same culture will on average do the same, and be much harder to correct once bias is identified.
- Faark 7y ago> An army of social workers raised in the same culture will on average do the same, In a society were it is normalized, sure. But can you imagine what systems such a society would come up with? So far we are only talking about shitty automated systems accidentally producing unwanted outcomes by e.g. reflecting subtle / unwitting / intolerable issues. > and be much harder to correct once bias is identified At the end of the day, I'd expect most social workers wanting to help and do a good job at it. AI hasn't reached that level, yet. So I'd expect a much better baseline from humans, with "fixing" outliers being much harder, yes.
