If you create a statistical model based on biased data. That model will perpetuate bias.

They tried to use AI to determine prison sentences for criminals.

Not surprisingly, it gave black people more harsh sentences. - for same criminal histories and crimes, compared to whites.

The creators argued that data showed blacks more likely to reoffend. But blacks also get harsher sentences first. And have a harder time getting jobs once out. More likely to be tried as adults for juvenile offenses. Not to mention less access to education/training/skill development.

The system caused the problem. And now it sought to reinforce it even more.

Herein lies the problem with prediction models. They use correlation data as if it’s cause-and-effect data. When it isn’t.

Ai is only statistical models based on data that’s fed into it.

A human decides what data is used.

A human ultimately controls its output.

It’s not objective. It’s not unbiased.

Fuck AI. It’s a dog shit technology as it exists right now. It definitely has no place in decision making in politics and other decisions that effect people’s lives.

I can’t wait until this bubble pops.

In a time when control of the House balances on a knife’s edge, winning even a handful of seats could deny either party from getting a majority and upend the way the House currently operates.

So…

They want to permanently cripple our government so nothing gets done?

Always good to know a strong political movement being lead, when the creators, don’t mention a single policy stance, state their past sides were based on which party hired them first… and formerly helped the tea party. So in short, their goal is to find districts of low turnout where voters aren’t arsed to show up… giving an independent candidate a shot, with no indication of what that candidate will stand for.

If I had to be a betting man, I’m going to assume, it’s going to be just like the tea party with a new strategy. IE it’s stances will be determined by the same money that dominates the existing 2 parties, given the false air of being “independent”, just like the tea party did.

These people think independents are centrist monoliths. Probably coincides with why they think AI is the solution for all of their problems, because they have no critical thinking skills.
