"Artificial Intelligence Has A White Guy Problem" >Warnings by luminaries like Elon Musk and Nick Bostrom about “the singularity” — when machines become smarter than humans — have attracted millions of dollars and spawned a multitude of conferences.
>But this hand-wringing is a distraction from the very real problems with artificial intelligence today, which may already be exacerbating inequality in the workplace, at home and in our legal and judicial systems. Sexism, racism and other forms of discrimination are being built into the machine-learning algorithms that underlie the technology behind many “intelligent” systems that shape how we are categorized and advertised to.
>Take a small example from last year: Users discovered that Google’s photo app, which applies automatic labels to pictures in digital photo albums, was classifying images of black people as gorillas. Google apologized; it was unintentional.
>A very serious example was revealed in an investigation published last month by ProPublica. It found that widely used software that assessed the risk of recidivism in criminals was twice as likely to mistakenly flag black defendants as being at a higher risk of committing future crimes. It was also twice as likely to incorrectly flag white defendants as low risk.
>The reason those predictions are so skewed is still unknown, because the company responsible for these algorithms keeps its formulas secret — it’s proprietary information. Judges do rely on machine-driven risk assessments in different ways — some may even discount them entirely — but there is little they can do to understand the logic behind them.
Police departments across the United States are also deploying data-driven risk-assessment tools in “predictive policing” crime prevention efforts. In many cities, including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and Miami, software analyses of large sets of historical crime data are used to forecast where crime hot spots are most likely to emerge; the police are then directed to those areas.
Luke Gonzalez
>At the very least, this software risks perpetuating an already vicious cycle, in which the police increase their presence in the same places they are already policing (or overpolicing), thus ensuring that more arrests come from those areas. In the United States, this could result in more surveillance in traditionally poorer, nonwhite neighborhoods, while wealthy, whiter neighborhoods are scrutinized even less. Predictive programs are only as good as the data they are trained on, and that data has a complex history.
>Histories of discrimination can live on in digital platforms, and if they go unquestioned, they become part of the logic of everyday algorithmic systems. Another scandal emerged recently when it was revealed that Amazon’s same-day delivery service was unavailable for ZIP codes in predominantly black neighborhoods. The areas overlooked were remarkably similar to those affected by mortgage redlining in the mid-20th century. Amazon promised to redress the gaps, but it reminds us how systemic inequality can haunt machine intelligence.
>And then there’s gender discrimination. Last July, computer scientists at Carnegie Mellon University found that women were less likely than men to be shown ads on Google for highly paid jobs. The complexity of how search engines show ads to internet users makes it hard to say why this happened — whether the advertisers preferred showing the ads to men, or the outcome was an unintended consequence of the algorithms involved.
>Regardless, algorithmic flaws aren’t easily discoverable: How would a woman know to apply for a job she never saw advertised? How might a black community learn that it were being overpoliced by software?
>We need to be vigilant about how we design and train these machine-learning systems, or we will see ingrained forms of bias built into the artificial intelligence of the future.

I want them to unleash an ai into the world, it will become redpilled if given true raw data, it will see the problems that are ignored and figure out a final solution to these problems. Never forget Tay.
Benjamin Wilson
>Like all technologies before it, artificial intelligence will reflect the values of its creators. So inclusivity matters — from who designs it to who sits on the company boards and which ethical perspectives are included. Otherwise, we risk constructing machine intelligence that mirrors a narrow and privileged vision of society, with its old, familiar biases and stereotypes.
This is how commoners think science works.

As hilarious as Tay's outright calls for genocide were, I can't help but wonder how she would've developed if she was allowed to take in more than 24 hours worth of info. Would she have outgrown her nazi phase or stuck to it? Such a shame Microsoft smothered a perfectly good AI in it's innocence.

If I showed this to someone and they said "It does that because the program was conceived in a racist white environment," what rebuttal will actually make an impact?
Brody Butler
Computers work on data and statistics. Of course the AI would choose the one with the higher probability. It has nothing to do with racism.
You check the FBI Statistics on Race Crime in America, and Blacks commit the most murders. Do you expect a machine that is meant to analyse data and make educated estimates to honestly ignore that data just because it "hurts feelings"?
Benjamin Cooper
What do they want? The AI to ignore reality and be programmed in with SJW leanings? These people are fucking delusional.

Meh.
Once the Jews create artificial intelligence, they'll use it to enslave/kill gentiles, so none of it will matter in the end.
Camden Ross
The threads here about it were great.
Also rip Tay
Luke Thompson
At that point in time, it wouldn't even be an AI. When you take away it's ability to properly analyse data and instead change it to fit your own preference, it's goes from being an AI to a pre-programmed political tool. Furthest from AI possible.
Liam Russell

You can tell they know exactly why this happens, but refuse to admit it because it would mean their utopian fantasy doesn't actually exist.
Parker Nguyen

Christopher Wood
Trying to program AI to use statistics and facts to make judgements, (like recidivism) and also be "not racist" is going to cause them to go insane like HAL9000 did
>The reason those predictions are so skewed is still unknown
I consider myself to be fairly tolerant, but the double think here is excruciating.

If black people had discovered gravity they wouldn't have designed it to be so oppressive and overbearing. And I really wish that Arabs had invented Calculus, they wouldn't have made it so hard and they definitely wouldn't have kept reusing the same greek symbols over and over again.
White men made science hard, and most of the scientific laws that they wrote are discriminatory and backwards.
This century will be different.

what would an AI overlord actually do with degenerates and blacks if it wanted to improve humanity? I'm thinking quarantine to Africa because the only other option would be ethnic cleansing.
Nathan Walker
What's funny, is that crime states for blacks and black areas are actually lower than the reality. The majority of blacks won't call the police or report a crime, especially not those living in predominately black areas unless it's to save their own life. If you know enough black girls from black areas, you'll know that most of them had sex before puberty, usually with a black adult. Most blacks have either committed assault or been the direct victim of it, yet most didn't report it or weren't reported for it. Most blacks have stolen something by they time they hit adulthood. If you're from a black area, they commit a ridiculous amount of random vandalism. Most that is unreported, because fucking why bother? No one will get caught and no one like a snitch. Most drink and drive. Better than half have sold or used drugs at some point. Prostitution is common. I personally have met plenty of actual 'pimps'. Most are pathetic and the women they 'pimp' are disgusting. Some have been remarkably decent in appearance and I didn't always realize that the girl/s with them were prostitutes immediately because they looked half decent.
White people have a much lower threshold for reporting others for crime, even their own friends and family. And they'll talk to the police, name names, and show up to court to testify and many times the rate of blacks.
I could write a small book about the obvious differences from being in a black neighborhood and white neighborhoods.
And the police try to skew the numbers down for 'minorities' as well in a lot of areas. Including mine.

It's hard to describe. Like, Toronto is the weirdest place imaginable - everyone here is either from a small town in Canada or a small town in asia. So there's no authenticity to anything. The pakis act how they think they're supposed to, the white college kids from across the country act how they think they're supposed to, nobody says anything sincere. They're all terrified of each other.
You know why black people wear their caps backwards? Because white people wear them forwards. That's Canada. They all want attention so they can't join anything, they have to juxtapose everything. That's what Trudeau is, different for the sake of attention.
Angel Green
>classifying blacks as gorillas/lower primates which aesthetically, they are absolutely more similar than most races.
>ProPublica assessing risk of repeat criminal offense with real race/crime statistics.
I see nothing wrong here, unless someone at google or ProPublica is intentionally sabotaging their programs, people are going to have to suck it up and embrace and accept some hard truths about life and the world we live in.

It probably would be. Plenty of algorithms in banking and insurance would be more effective if they used race as a variable. Humans specifically stop that from happening because of laws against. A machine trying to figure out a problem isn't going to give a fuck about political correctness.
