Hmm, perhaps, but I think we should be clear on the distinctions between:
1. "We didn't try to cause X."
2. "There is no X happening."
3. "We don't look to see if X happens."
4. "If X happens we don't try to stop it."
As someone involved in HR-tech-stuff, my default stance towards complex "AI" systems is that they all harbor biases, and the main difference is which ones have been discovered yet.
- mkeedlinger 10mo ago> my default stance towards complex "AI" systems is that they all harbor biases I’m sure there are exceptions, but one could assume that opaque systems are used as tools to encode biases that are advantageous but wrong. These biases could have existed in code, but opaque agents give much better plausible deniability. (Caveat here acknowledging one can often assume a lack of malice)
