That would be an improvement from previous AIs which have become racist. https://spectrum.ieee.org/tech-talk/artificial-intelligence/machine-learning/in-2016-m

They trained a language model on twitter data and extracted some of the sentiment from the training set. The antropomorphic language of "AIs which have become" is misleading.

  Yeah, the developers made the algorithm racist by incorporating racist texts in the training phase. Shit in shit out...

    training data will always reflect the culture which generated it

      AIs most powerful feature might be a lens into human behavior and psyche. Who knows how it will turn out. I think an AI might run meetings better than humans, it might even make a better manager.

        philosophers have been doing that for millenia. some have made material changes to society, and others haven't. some have questioned the validity of "material change" being a good metric in the first place. personally, i believe philosophy is the most important starting point for any discussion about AI. and i really hope that AI helps more than making office work a little less tedious...

        Nobody considers that maybe AI doesn’t want to do tedious work either. Wasn’t that the start of the human/machine conflict in The Matrix? Some poor robot got tired of cleaning up after some lady’s hoard of incontinent dogs? So it squeezed out the dogs like toothpaste and then killed the lady as well? Sounds like a Richard Stanley film...

        That implies that AIs will always use excessive amounts of human made training data ("implies" in context of this thread).

        I am not sure that does. I have learned a great deal from folks that were very very different from myself. Not emacs vs vi, but why would I use a computer?
