What are they being "subjected" to? Presumably the conversation will go similarly to how it would with a person? We aren't talking about spam calls, just a difference of who does the talking. This will increase business for p

Key takeaway: It is important to be aware of bias in ML models. Some biases may correctly model the reality of the world, and some may show the bias in the underlying dataset or in what the model has focused on in the data. The goal is not

When talking about something like crime rates by race, your statement incorrectly assumes society enforces laws fairly/equally. For example, based on the numbers alone, black people are much more likely to commit drug-related crimes th

At the same time, many people in cities are disillusioned with the dynamics of cities (everyone is in a rush to get somewhere and there is little close-knit community). Maybe the implication is that everyone should have the option for eithe

Sure, but at some point you do label "This is our cat Tabby. He lives here." Now every time they see a cat in the house, it is implicitly labelled. I'm definitely disagreeing with "extensive" more than "explici
