I contend that is impossible to make an unbiased AI. I did an AI image recognition project several years ago. It used yolo to categorize rust into grade 1, 2, and 3 for offshore platforms. When creating our training dataset, we had different rust inspectors from different parts of the world drawing different lines in the sand between what was category 1, 2, and 3. We had to eventually pick which bias we wanted to roll out worldwide. The advantage for a giant corporation was that now the same consistent bias was being used worldwide and fewer people had to be safety trained to go on the offshore platforms. If that incredibly dull and basic application can’t be unbiased, I don’t think it is possible to avoid bias in anything produced with a training dataset. The very word “training” implies it. Someone somewhere decides A is in the training and B is not, and a bias is born, intentionally or not.
So the task is really to find the AI with the bias that works best for your application, not to try and remove bias.
Apple A series CPUs and now M series CPUs have consistently been top of the benchmarks in single core performance for most of the last decade. This even holds true when pitted against desktop Intel and AMD chips. For someone who works with workloads that struggle to be very multithreaded, I do watch this. I must be that 0.1% of the audience
Vindication! I’ve spent over a decade of my life putting physical interactives into museums. I have preached (sold) many museums on the stance that they should put unique experiences into museums that can’t happen on an iPad at home, to varying degrees of success. The museums that have listened are the ones that continue to be wildly successful to this day.
They are hard to do right though. I used to compete in combat robotics and the stresses put on museum exhibits is higher. I tell my new engineers that if their exhibit can be dropped into a gorilla enclosure and survive, they are about half way strong enough. Little makes up for raw experience in the art of building bomb proof exhibits, and many companies have failed before getting good. The amateur hour exhibits from the low bid newcomers that inevitably fail and/or need a lot of expensive maintenance has left a sour taste in a lot of museum’s mouths. A lot of those museums have knee jerk reactioned the opposite direction to touchscreen exhibits, only to see their ticket sales slowly drop. Thankfully, i’m seeing the pendulum of the industry swinging back towards physical interactives again.
