The idea that AI can replicate or amplify human prejudice, once argued mostly at the field’s fringes, has been thoroughly absorbed into its mainstream: Every major tech company now makes the necessary noise about “AI ethics.”
Yes, but: A critical split divides AI reformers. On one side are the bias-fixers, who believe the systems can be purged of prejudice with a bit more math. (Big Tech is largely in this camp.) On the other side are the bias-blockers, who argue that AI has no place at all in some high-stakes decisions.
Why it matters: This debate will define the future of the controversial AI systems that help determine people’s fates through hiring, underwriting, policing and bail-setting.
What’s happening: Despite the rise of the #bias-blockers in 2019, the #bias-fixers remain the orthodoxy.
