- jqpabc123 4y agoAs it currently exists, AI is just a mirror. It makes no judgments and it has no opinions of it's own. Any appearance of such is simply a statistical reflection of the data that was fed into it. An image is classified as "sexy" because similar images where classified as such by some human in the training data. Consequently, there is no guarantee of "truth" or lack of bias in any results.
- brookst 4y agoYes, with the nuance that companies can put differing levels of effort into trying to avoid the generation and/or delivery of results that reflect unpleasant things in the training set. AI is just data+math; it can't be any more or less biased than the data and math. But the companies have a lot of knobs to turn to either mitigate that or not.
