Wherever people are involved, even in the most “disinterested” of situations, personal bias and self-interest are a factor.
Biasing an algo can be as simple as giving it an under or over weighted training set and a hyperparameter that stifles the sample's minority class members. Turn it loose, and voila....
"Omission of control" was used to prosecute the management of Ayrton Senna's racing team after his death. Italian and US law likely differ a little but the concept may translate.
the algo creators designed it only with their minds - which are politically biased as we know. In other words they got the algo pregnant with their own views.
The algorithms are keyed to block results from disfavored viewpoints such as Breitbart. Basically the search says display matches except responses from names of conservative sites. Not rocket science just some logical decision branches in the code.
@Google , exactly Why are YOU Using #Algorithms to weight #Political_Biases in the First Place? Isn’t that a Violation of The First Amendment & Free Speech? “The Answer to Speech is More Speech.” Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter.
You don’t Need Algorithms to weight Speech!
Algorithms are nothing more than someone entering a bunch of "if this, then do this, else do this" statements. Claiming it's just an algorithm is disingenuous, you can give it whatever bias you want it to have, just by coding what the "ifs and dos" are.
you mentioned in the past, how the digital corporastocracy could really rule us all. I imagine we are getting close to that point, and it could come before the next election.
So, the person who created the algorithm is biased. "Sorry bro, it's an algorithm" doesn't fly with me.pic.twitter.com/tr8ZFSKMOu
