WaPo: Artificial intelligence generates "stereotypes" about crime and success "that don’t reflect the real world."
Uhm, stereotype accuracy is one of the most robust findings in social science for a reason: People notice patterns that really exist.
If AI wants to "reflect the real world" then generating stereotypes is inevitable.
But the WaPo would rather AI spit out one soothing lie after another, like that African-Americans aren't any more violent than Asian-Americans (even though they commit murder at over 20 times the rate that Asians do), and that they're just as cognitively capable (an American of East Asian ancestry is over 100 times more likely than a black person in America to have an IQ of over 140).washingtonpost.com/technology/int…
