> You can't remove it with a software bandage Though some people might argue that the biases software reproduces will in turn reinforce biases held by the users at large. Conversely, you may reduce human bias if you algorithmically reduce the bias in the data (which is possible). Not saying whether Google should, that's a very delicate debate, but it's thinkable. I wouldn't want to be in the place of the person at Google trying to make guidelines for that, but it's definitely doable. For instance, you could probably easily argue that the phrase "three black teenagers" (an example from the article) is pretty neutral in itself and definitely shouldn't be interpreted as a call to produce arrest pictures. In general the term "three [ethnicity] teenagers" could probably be normalized with regards to the setting the pictures show, for instance. |
