    This has become a common view across the political spectrum and it's not it. All three are true, but do not go to the core of today's problems. The key problem just isn't human bias creeping into the code because of how code works these days—it's machine learning, not symbolic.pic.twitter.com/2b8yJTsNks

        I've started my class this semester on Algorithms, Data and Society with a week of grounding everyone in coding and machine learning. My (always wounderful!) students will read Unreasonable Effectiveness of RNNs and social theory the same class! 💪

        Datasets already contain our collective biased behaviors

        Absolutely! But that's a different path to what's happening then what people's mental model of the process is--some sort of implicit bias type bias creeping into the programs.

        An unbiased algorithm trained on biased data -- any measure of human activity -- will produce biased results.

        Bias in the training set will bias the learning machine.

        There's also a difference between technical competency, competency in humam behavior, and competency in the intersection of those spheres. Those who write code for big human socialization mediums may not know themselves the bias that is being embedded into their code.
