To butcher the phrase a bit:
“It is difficult to get a wo/man to correct something, when his/her salary depends on not fixing it.”
- tinyhouse 6y agoFixing something in AI usually means improving it, not solving it. And even if the problem would get solved, there are plenty of other problems to work on.
- thu2111 6y agoMaybe not for her. Seems her education is actually electrical engineering for some reason, and her Wikipedia page lists no record of AI research achievement beyond racial/sociological stuff. If she accepted that the USA/AI isn't filled with racism she'd presumably have to go back to signal processing.
- r-zip 6y agoFYI: education in EE is actually pretty common for people in ML. The math needed for control and signal processing has a lot of overlap with ML, and many EE labs do research in ML. I don't agree with her responses to LeCun, but I don't think her education should impact her credibility. Edit: If you read her bio, she received her PhD in CS, and it looks like she's published multiple papers on things other than social issues in ML. What are you even talking about?
- thu2111 6y agoI was going based on her Wikipedia page which doesn't seem to mention much beyond racial stuff.
