I think this is a great comment, that would do a lot of people a lot of good to read.

That said, how should a person like Yann LeCun argue his case? Namely that biased models are the result of bad datasets more so than the result of bad algorithms.

I don't think Yann would disagree that biased datasets is a large systemic issue. How should a person like Yann make his point?

It doesn't seem to me that Yann and Timnit disagree all that much. They both agree biased datasets is a problem. They both agree it's a systemic problem. They both agree it does tremendous harm when these biased models are deployed.

I'm very confused as to why there even could be debate between these two people. I cannot find any meaningful difference in their views.

My opinion: Yang made the mistake of thinking a factional conversation was taking place.
