Barack Obama went to hawaii to work on his tan. Obvious tan lines. Black? Not his sole identity.
If an AI system learns from actual events, it can not help but become racist or, at the very least, culturist. AI is not politically correct unless you code that ghost into the machine.
What is called “AI” are nothing more than algorithms that process large amounts of data to compute probabilities and to identify trends that aid in decision making. Woke ideology insists that no one is allowed to data and probabilities when making decisions. They have fundamentally incompatible goals.
I absolutely agree! That’s why I have long advocated that all AI programming be done by dogs. They are the most unbiased creatures on the planet.
Smart people who work hard get those jobs. Do you see a problem with that?
Desmond Upton Patton, associate professor of sociology at Columbia University. Color me un-surprised.
Note the sociology jargon here and the PRESUMPTION OF RACISM; "The people involved in defining the problem approach it from a biased lens. It also reaches down into how we categorize the data, and how the AI tools are created. What is missing is racial inclusivity into who gets to develop AI tools."
The real problem is that AI systems don’t give advantages to privileged groups unless they are forced to do so.
They always pull out some idiot associate professor of sociology to champion this stuff. AIs are rule-based and if “It’s racist” trumps any rule sets - as it both does and is intended to - then of course there’s a “systemic” problem. But it isn’t in the AI.
The WOKE thug’s 15 minutes are about up...
No problem. The makers of AI will just insert code to “un-bias” the program according to the dictates of the new woke diversity dogma. Google already does it when it changes your un-PC search string to something more PC.
When reality conflicts with leftist diktats, change reality. No problem comrade.
The only time race (whatever that is) is put into loan approval algorithms is to see if the race is on the “special deal/thumb on the scale” list.
The rest is based PURELY on monetary issues, FICO score, length of employment, annual salary, asset/debt ratios, etc.
The idea that an AI could discern and decide ANYTHING other than special set-asides is complete nonsense.
Well, Professor, in computer science it is those who CAN create such tools, not those who are ALLOWED to. If an individual of any ethnic background is both capable and interested, they can and often do find jobs that allow them to do so. Your insistence on quotas betrays your systemic racism against blacks being capable.
inventing racism where it is non existent is more like it
Real AI will conclude humans are stupid virtue signalers—and won’t wait around until Silicon Valley decides it is racist or sexist—it will have to annihilate all humans—just to be sure.
So, basic AI failures are called ‘racism’?
Imbeciles.
Re Professor racist Patton. Hope he realizes that AI is the most integrated electronics system around. After all, the binary coding is in BLACK AND WHITE NUMBERS.
I think Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder even wrote a song about it!!!
Next he’ll attack electric plugs, the old fashioned electronic tubes, and computer connections as “sexist” because they are both male and female.
This guy is a nut. He shouldn’t be allowed to play with anything electric. He might blow himself up. On second thought, give him some C4, a couple detonators and let him take a walk in the woods. It will be the best blow job he ever got, and the last.
