Anytime an algorithm’s doing something that has racial bias, remember that all algorithms and the assumptions baked into them are created by humans :mjpls:

That is NOT how these (modern) models work.

As opposed to other AIs, such as IBM's Deep Blue or Watson, which were developed for a pre-defined purpose and only function within its scope, DeepMind claims that its system is not pre-programmed: it learns from experience, using only raw pixels as data input. Technically it uses deep learning on a convolutional neural network, with a novel form of Q-learning, a form of model-free reinforcement learning.[2][47] They test the system on video games, notably early arcade games, such as Space Invaders or Breakout.[47][48] Without altering the code, the AI begins to understand how to play the game, and after some time plays, for a few games (most notably Breakout), a more efficient game than any human ever could.[48]

So what data sets are these models learning from? Because clearly the AI spoken of in this story isn’t simply looking at 80s video games to train itself :jbhmm:

There’s a tendency to act as if the results of what actions AI take are benign, neutral, or without any of the biases we’re all prone to. But it’s just a cop out to avoid the uncomfortable thought that we give them our own pre-existing biases and they simply act on them and propagate them.

That's the point, they will pre program these things and then be hands off. They will rely on their societal cognitive dissonance and throw their hands up with these algorithms pull some racial bullshyt.

Remember when google street view, wouldn't automatically censor the faces of black people, like it would with whites?
