White person here:
At this point, if a web scale service like this do this it should be grounds for significant sanctions: increasing fines (think GDPR scale) and closer scrutiny (think mandatory inspections and quality controls every month, paid for by the company) should do I think.
But, while I'm really annoyed by this and support you I'm also sure there will be enough outrage against it in time from.
- pc86 5y agoFined for what, exactly? They deployed a flawed AI model. The flaw was pointed out, and they removed the model and apologized. I'm genuinely curious what else should have happened.
- skinkestek 5y agoWhat should have happened is they did basic testing up front? And since they fixed it right away small fines only, like nuisance small. And small follow up.
- pc86 5y agoYou didn't answer the question. Fine for what? Are you suggesting broken AI models should incur criminal charges? What exactly are they being fined for?
- skinkestek 5y agoI'm suggesting that when companies that print money have so broken AI models that the confuse dark skinned humans for animals we should incentivize them to fix it. If this ends up giving entry level jobs to people who have a hard time entering tech so they can help testing this, I can live with that too. But frankly, I don't see your point: is it OK to call dark skinned people monkeys if the system who does it is automated && the company who run it is willing to apologize and stop it after getting caught? PS: this is a weird situation for me, I'm a normal white bloke, not woke or anything, I just try to push companies to show basic decency.
