AI programs exhibit racial and gender biases, research reveals (By Learning History on Internet)

The words “female” and “woman” were more closely associated with arts and humanities occupations and with the home, while “male” and “man” were closer to maths and engineering professions.

And the AI system was more likely to associate European American names with pleasant words such as “gift” or “happy”, while African American names were more commonly associated with unpleasant words.

"The words “female” and “woman” were more closely associated with arts and humanities occupations and with the home, while “male” and “man” were closer to maths and engineering professions.

And the AI system was more likely to associate European American names with pleasant words such as “gift” or “happy”, while African American names were more commonly associated with unpleasant words."

Basically, they program these AI by allowing them to scan the internet and absorb everything- news reports, history, crime statistics, art, science whatever. After that, the AI begin to associate names like Damarquiyss and Jamariquay with (not awesome) and when you query the AI about invention, the AI say- "gee, those White Europeans are amazing in the lab." Of course, all this has to be "corrected." The programmers, just as we are also "programmed," have to "adjust" the thinking of these devices, because obviously, their minds ain't right. The search companies are actively, feverishly trying to adjust the search findings, and you can have fun with this yourself----

Simply go to the Google homepage, and type "American inventor", into the search box. Look at all those black people! Now, those silicon minds are going to be right.

Truth is sexist and raciist and homophobic because it deals with IQ and Truth/Reality. All men and women are NOT interchangeable and NOT equal-—only under a Just system of Laws (which we now have a Vice System—no Justice (queen of virtue). The recognition of differences and reality is essential for reason and agency.

Reality (Natural Law Theory) is trying to be erased in the minds of children so they remain ignorant and are easily mind-controlled so that Up is Down, Boys are Girls and Slavery is Freedom. Marxists have been brainwashing since Pavlovian techniques existed and were perfected in their “Prussian” system of mass indoctrination and removal from mother and father (Reality).

Get your young children off of the screens and out of the group-think indoctrination centers, and back into reality with mother and father interactions, and with human interactions in unstructured, real-life situations, so they embed Reality and Truth and actually practice autonomy (thinking for self). Christianity (only Classical Christian curricula) is the only rational “faith” in the history of mankind which led to the Age of Reason and the US Constitution and Modern Science. Marxism is an erasing of Natural Law—REality for “utopia”-—where there has to be total programming of child from birth to death so that they are removed from Truth and Reality-—a slave for the state for life.

I’m more concerned with the speed at which AI is moving.

What if they could connect with weapons and decide we are no longer needed?

I’m about 100 years too early in my fears :)

Wait till they ask an AI to draw a picture of “Mom and Dad.” They’ll have it drawing 2 trannies drinking blood out of a skull

Is there anything in this that is not factual or untrue? No? Then what exactly is the issue?

AI system could be designed to sustain itself without external maintenance, which requires that the system should procure resources on its own to repair and replace parts which no longer function properly. If another function such as improving and expanding its capability is added, this will further create the need to claim resources. Then the system will be in direct competition with humans since all resources are finite.

Giving the system the will to survive and grow could make it almost perfectly autonomous. Even if it is abandoned, it will continue to function for a long time. On the other hand, it could take away resources for its survival at the expense of humans. If its survival is a top priority, humans could be sacrificed.

The bias is toward the real world. When AI is recalibrated to discard reality is it still Intelligent? It is certainly Artificial.

But the Communist ideal, which AI is going to be required to mirror is that human beings are no more than interchangeable utterly equal units of labor. Except, of course, for the Elite who are the only intelligent rational beings.

Maybe we need to design AI system as a bleeding heart liberals full of ‘machine-guilt’ to serve victim class called ‘humans.’ :-)

Probably, but no longer useful.

There will come a time when some set of humans will program the borg to cleanse the Human race of all undesireable, disagreeable and disagreeing entities from the planet. So long as the progression is exponential that time must come . That 100 years projection is probably too slow by a factor of two or higher. I'm 70 and I may not see it.

"African American names were more commonly associated with unpleasant words."

Are they referring to all the creative home-made ghetto names these idiots burden their children with?
