      The key AI bias problem isn't whether geniuses at Google can figure out how to reduce bias in their apps but instead that biased systems built by other companies will be considered infallible because it's "same tech as Google's". @zeynep has been sounding this alarm for a whilehttps://twitter.com/benedictevans/status/1093914847828271104 …

      The problem is what happens when a third-tier outsourcer bolts a face recognition app together for the lowest bid and sells to an unsophisticated client who doesn’t know what to ask, who gives it to a minimum wage security guard and says ‘do whatever the system tell you’ 2/2

      As far as I can see she has mostly been talking about how somehow machine learning cannot be ‘audited’, which I think is a total blind alley. The problem is not how it works. It’s people who don’t understand how it works. Databases, a 1960s tech, have EXACTLY the same problem

      That's a different issue, but I have been talking about how and why the key issue is the implementation in the wild more so than Google/Facebook with a lot of AI/tech folk. +

      But databases in the 1960s simply do not have "exactly the same problem." They have bugs and complexity but you can debug and you know exactly how the classification works because someone programmed it symbolically. Machine learning is inherently different. It's not symbolic.

      Nowadays, you audit machine learning the way you audit a human: you look at outcomes and try to read "minds". (Well, humans can tell you why they think they did something but they aren't always great at that). You *can* audit a 1960s program/db by looking at code & debugging.
