frankster Posted Tuesday at 09:46 PM Report Posted Tuesday at 09:46 PM Race, Technology, and Algorithmic Bias | Vision & Justice || Radcliffe Institute Artificial intelligence has become woven into the fabric of modern life. From recommendation systems and voice assistants to hiring algorithms and medical diagnostics, AI now influences how we work, communicate, and make decisions. Yet as the power and presence of AI expand, so too does awareness of one of its most complex and troubling characteristics—bias. Bias in AI is not merely a technical flaw; it is a mirror reflecting the imperfections of human society. It arises when systems trained to be “objective” inherit the prejudices, inequities, and blind spots embedded in the data or processes used to create them. The results can be subtle or devastating: job candidates unfairly filtered out, minority groups misidentified by facial recognition, or language models perpetuating harmful stereotypes. Understanding bias in AI requires a deep exploration of what bias is, how it manifests within algorithms, and what can be done to mitigate it. This discussion touches not only computer science and data ethics but also sociology, law, and philosophy. https://www.sciencenewstoday.org/bias-in-ai-what-it-is-how-it-happens-what-to-do-about-it This Black Person is Not Real Weapons of Math Destruction: how big data increases inequality and threatens democracy | Podcast
ProfD Posted Wednesday at 03:15 PM Report Posted Wednesday at 03:15 PM Of course, those responsible for bringing AI technology to market are going to build bias into it. Therein lies the problems with being powerless & having little or no input &/or control over the process. Yet, the same people will be the ultimate consumers of their own replacement &/or demise.

True.... To me the question is it intentional or unintentional? 6 hours ago, ProfD said: Therein lies the problems with being powerless & having little or no input &/or control over the process. To have power one must exercise power.....what ever little one has. AS one philosopher said......You never know how strong you are.....till strong you have to be. 6 hours ago, ProfD said: Yet, the same people will be the ultimate consumers of their own replacement &/or demise.

I believe it is intentional. 4 hours ago, frankster said: To have power one must exercise power.....what ever little one has. AS one philosopher said......You never know how strong you are.....till strong you have to be. Right. One must believe they have power. Decades of conditioning to be weak has an effect. 4 hours ago, frankster said: They suffer from a sort of Stocholm Syndrome Agreed. A form of Stockholm Syndrome is definitely a by-product of systemic oppression.
admin Posted Friday at 08:42 PM Report Posted Friday at 08:42 PM The first and last videos are too old to be of relevance today. Pill Boy's video seems interesting I'll probably check it out, Still without knowing anything about who he is I'lll view the video very critically. I can only imagine what the state of the art of AI, which none of us have access to, is. ----------------------- @frankster, what is truth? Is it really incontrovertible. History tells us what is true today may be false tomorrow. The "truth" my exist but we may not know it, indeed it may be unknowable. Religions may not be true, but maybe there is something underlying them that is true, but incomprehensible to us mere mortals. Maybe religion is one why we can glimpse it, the way a tesseract helps us visualize a 4D space.

Pioneer1 Posted yesterday at 12:40 AM Report Posted yesterday at 12:40 AM While Latinos are snatching up jobs and taking over entire neighborhoods.....clearly a MUCH bigger immediate threat than AI...you got educated Black folks like this sitting on stage pushing the envelope with goofy fashion statements and distracting you with big juicy "nothing" burgers. They got good jobs.... Most likely because some White "friend" plugged them in to get it. Eating right. Driving nice. ....totally oblivious to what most of the poor and working class AfroAmericans have to deal with and compete against in today's job market.
