As Above So Below
Why Artificial Intelligence Is Always 'Racist'
(Excerpt)
AI can’t tell the difference between what’s true and is acceptable and what’s true and unacceptable. That’s because, as this expert Mutale Nkonde explains, “AI research, development and production is really driven by people who are blind to the impact of race and racism.”
The blind people are, of course, white people.
Needless to say, the ACLU is on the case, with a warning about “how artificial intelligence can deepen racial and economic inequities.”
It says an AI system that decides who will be a good tenant will be racist. That’s because it will include information about eviction and criminal histories – yes, landlords want to know about that – but that’s no good because that information “reflects long standing racial disparities in housing and the criminal legal system that are discriminatory towards marginalized communities.”
