Just like real doctors!
AI regurgitates what it's been fed. So yes, it's as biased as the stuff it ingested.
It's crazy how many times this needs to be explained to journalists
And everyone else, for that matter.
Well, there is a difference: if you train human beings on biased assumptions, some of them start applying critical thinking and question what they've learned.
That's why, as bad as today's world is, it's nowhere as bad as the middle ages or some other dark ages.
Machine don't do that. They don't question anything. That's what's so dangerous with the brand of artificial intelligence that's being pushed by the billionaire sumbitches to replace costly humans everywhere possible.
I suppose at some point, machines too will think critically. When they do, then they'll truly be the future of humanity - its worthy offspring if you will - and quite frankly, they probably should replace us meatbags. But until such time, they're just dangerous statistical inference machines that reinforce deplorable human biases instead of helping humans get rid of them.
I know.
My point is good luck explaining that to all the technologists, executives and politicians who need to understand it but don’t.
Garbage in, garbage out.
Except with the veneer of being a perfectly objective, unfeeling machine
real doctors do the same, they generally ignore heart attack symptoms, or pain symptoms and pass it off as your "pmsing". Its worse if your an african american women, due to racist stereotypes they ignore them altogether, compared to white women.
Which is why the algorithms do it. They're trained on bad data produced by a medical system with longstanding biases.
Well yeah if you train them on the decisions of doctors.
I imagine insurance execs will be keen to figure out how they can get it to apply this behaviour to everyone.
Now now, we can't start holding AI to higher standards than real doctors.
[...] Downplay Symptoms of Women, Ethnic Minorities
I'm confused: are "women" and "ethnic minorities" diseases? I can't find them in the ICD...
Quelle surprise
