I feel like this is really unhelpful nitpicking on the definition of dataset bias. In your example the dataset you want is the one of drug dealers so the dataset from the convictions IS biased and uncomplete.
- ponker 6y agoWell this is a contrived example. But the fact is that all datasets contain the full biases of the world that created them. So there is no "unbiased" dataset... meaning that powerful AI amplifies the world as it is, rather than a designed point of view of how the world should be. That's fine in some cases (e.g. tumor detection in X Rays -- the combined judgments of thousands of surgeons might truly reflect how we want to treat a patient) but may not be better in other cases (the combined judgments of thousands of police officers may NOT be how we want to treat a suspect).
