I don't see any antidote to the effects of AI on society except regulation. This is a good first step forward, but it needs to go further.

- ghiculescu 3y agoWhat effects need an antidote?
- peterfirefly 3y agoNoticing how the world is. That's dangerous and "biased".
- crooked-v 3y ago"How the world is" includes "people named Jared are better employees", apparently.
- kibwen 3y agoThe problem here is conflating "the world" with "the training set". If your data isn't representative of the world, then, yes, that introduces bias.
- abigail95 3y agoi dont want a fair sample of the whole world. i want a highly biased sample of attributes in the extreme tail end which will have all sorts of weirdness in it. at least 2/3 of the population are unteachable for the management/engineering i want. i don't want applicants that look anything like normal. is that now illegal?
- fsckboy 3y agothe comment you are replying to is saying that if the data is representative of the world, you will then be termed biased because the people doing the labelling think the world is biased.
- reaperducer 3y agoWhat effects need an antidote? Which part of the article did you skip? Start with the part where AI hiring tools favor people named "Jared."
- ghiculescu 3y agoHumans do that too. Regulating AI won’t change that.
- constantly 3y agoI can tell a human what they’re doing and they can be aware of their bias and guard against it. This is part of the point of “unconscious bias” training. AI can’t do this. If you’re saying humans are consciously hiring people named Jared, they shouldn’t be allowed to provide hiring feedback.
- peterfirefly 3y agoAI would probably do it less than humans. If AI also does it, then Jareds probably really are better the employees. (Or the AI was used incompetently. That's always an option. Was AI the reason why US universities discriminated illegally against non-blacks and non-hispanics? I really doubt it.)
