""" Known for her work on racial and gender bias in facial recognition systems and other AI algorithms, Gebru has been advocating for fairness and ethics in AI for years. The Gender Shades project that she leads with MIT Media Lab Computer Scientist Joy Buolamwini revealed that commercial facial recognition software was more likely to misclassified and was less accurate with darker-skinned females compared to lighter-skinned men. Gebru’s CVPR 2020 talk Computer vision in practice: who is benefiting and who is being harmed? again addressed the role of bias in AI, “I think that now a lot of people have understood that we need to have more diverse datasets, but unfortunately I felt like that’s kind of where the understanding has stopped. It’s like ‘let’s diversify our datasets. And that’s kind of ethics and fairness, right?’ But you can’t ignore social and structural problems.“ """ Seems that these two paragraphs alone describe what she has been saying. Where did your "algorithmic bias" assertion came from? Who mentioned algorithmic problems? > If there is any sort of fairness, ethics or what have you initiative @Facebook and @facebookai, let me tell you how little credibility they have because you have the loudest microphone out there. Its interesting how one perceives this as "throwing shit" when it is harsh criticism directed at what she denotes as the little power any ethics or fairness org at FB has. The other quotes are out of frustration and are in the civil territory. If those are uncivil to you and the others, well, that's your line of sensitivity as it is definitely not the bar for incivility. If something sounds harsh, it doesn't mean it is uncivil. It is very easy to twist words or remove them out of the conversation context to make them seem like fighting words. I could be very harsh in address people here and still be civil about it. The air I smell here 'It is Yann LeCunn, legendary figure, never criticize what he says or if you do so, do it very very very politely even if you have to do it 1k times.' I'm no longer interested in finding out more perceptions on this. I saw what I saw and you guys see what you see. I don't see any uncivil activity just sensationalism at an opportune time and a mob of anti-social justice trying to attack whatever seems "woke." These issues would have to be dealt with no matter what period of time.
