> social networks need to be required to show how their algorithm works
Hypothetically speaking: What if it's a neural network in which each user has his/her own unique weights which are undergoing frequent retraining?
Would it not be an undue burden to necessitate the release of the weights every time they change?
Also, what value would the weights have? We haven't yet hit the point of having neural networks with interpretability.
Wouldn't enforcing algorithmic interpretability additionally be an undue burden?

What if the authors of the code are unable to tell you why?
- BlueTemplar 7mo agoThe use of black boxes like neural networks is already effectively illegal in some governments for this very reason.
- acuozzo 7mo agoThat's dumb. Who defines what a black box is? Like, is it not alright to write all of your code in a hex editor targeting one specific ISA? Is not alright to lose your code and have only the binaries to run?
