Yet another way of using Alexa to steal from you
Bias in AI:

Governments use satellite imagery of cities, and algorithmic analysis of these images, for planning and policies.

This article shows how differences in the algorithms can lead to bias against certain sections of the city/groups of people:

AI has serious problems. Purely data driven recommendations don't have a sense of right and wrong.
We need to worry about dangers of medical AI. Now. Because some AI systems are actually starting to replace human judgment; and we're still in the era when most software is written by folks who believe in “move fast and break things.” Details:

2/2 “Several companies (i.e., Google, Enlitic, among others) have been practising “off-shoring” – they are taking their AI products to jurisdictions with more lax regulatory environments”

Alright, the new name for Machine Learning is bias automation
Machine Learning can be racist, sexist, or otherwise discriminatory in an “emergent” way (i.e. without race or gender being explicitly involved anywhere in the data or the algorithm).

If you don't understand this, you need to educate yourself
Seen on HackerNews: Instead of calling it ML (Machine Learning), we should be calling it MG (Machine Guessing)
We're in a bit of trouble. A new paper indicates that creating AI algorithms that are simple+interpretable and those that are fair might be conflicting goals
Always keep this in mind when you encounter a machine learning algorithm being used for investing
“People worry that computers will get too smart and take over the world, but the real problem is that they’re too stupid and they’ve already taken over the world.” —Pedro Domingos
AI still has some bugs to iron out before taking over the world
Great thread showing how companies are no longer in control of their algorithms. This is just a taste of things to come.
AI still has some work to do.
