Until 2015, all ad targeting algorithms across the industry were running on mere logistic regression. In fact, that’s still true to a large extent today -- only the biggest players have switched to more advanced models.
It is the reason why so many of the ads you see online seem desperately irrelevant. They aren't that sophisticated. Likewise, the social media bots used by hostile state actors to sway public opinion have little to no AI in them. They’re all extremely primitive. For now.
AI has been making fast progress in recent years, and that progress is only beginning to get deployed in targeting algorithms and social media bots. Deep learning has only started to make its way into newsfeeds and ad networks around 2016. Facebook has invested massively in it
Who knows what will be next. It is quite striking that Facebook has been investing enormous amounts in AI research and development, with the explicit goal of becoming a leader in the field. What does that tell you? What do you use AI/RL for when your product is a newsfeed?
We’re looking at a powerful entity that builds fine-grained psychological profiles of over two billion humans, that runs large-scale behavior manipulation experiments, and that aims at developing the best AI technology the world has ever seen. Personally, it really scares me
If you work in AI, please don't help them. Don't play their game. Don't participate in their research ecosystem. Please show some conscience
These irrelevant ads are necessary data samples for unsupervised learning algos. It needs to collect agent responses for both relevant and irrelevant input. It gives the system more freedom later to construct an effective input that would generate the desired response
This, however, is quite correct, and shoukd be DEEPLY concerned, especially given a populous that has been largely disarmed intellectually.
The dumbing down of everything HAS to stop. We need to become a nation that stops appealing to the lowest common denominator, & become one that elevates the uncommon denominator, and aims at the extraordinary even if it exceeds our grasp. The mere act of reaching will advance us.
Wait till AI can manipulate video content via CGI to reconstruct historical events to create stronger manipulative pressure.
Globo News Network, in Brazil, acted primitively like that - corrruption, worm jornalists, etc twisted the head of some 90% of the country's population. A fantastic case to study.
