    ICE hacked its algorithmic risk-assessment tool so it recommended detention for everyonehttps://boingboing.net/2018/06/26/software-formalities.html …

        we hope they're still one step away, but given lack of readily available records and outside oversight, probably. they are probably Daleks. the platform was always "people we don't like aren't really people" after all. not sure why anyone is surprised?

        Let me fix that title for you: "ICE programmed lies into its algorithmic risk-assessment tool in order to unjustly imprison possibly illegal immigrants".

        Over here: people seriously talking about the inherent bias possible in algorithms and AI's, and how tilted results can happen without our suspecting it. Over there: ICE says "push button, detain asylum seeker"

        Algorithms are simply models. A model can be tweaked to produce any desirable result. The fact that the number of detentions increased while the percentage of times that the risk assessment was overridden (resulting in detention) decreased indicates tampering

        Sure, any other changes you want? Haha, no wonder they want to destroy the records! Clumsy, awkward and caught in criminal act. Release the victims & put #ICE in jail

        "Algorithm" is a word that geeks like to use. The word hides its true meaning, "a set of decisions we make in secret."
