Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Is Absolutely Right About Racist Algorithms
There is no design of AI that can be simultaneously utilitarian, procedurally fair, and representatively fair.<p>I&#x27;m going to repeat this again, since many people struggle with this.<p>It is _literally impossible_ to achieve the best utilitarian outcome, the most procedurally fair outcome, and a representatively fair outcome.<p>Anyone designing algorithms will have to make tradeoffs along this frontier.<p>For a far better argument for the above than I can make in a Hacker News thread, please see these slides from Chris Stucchio:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.chrisstucchio.com&#x2F;pubs&#x2F;slides&#x2F;crunchconf_2018&#x2F;slides.pdf" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.chrisstucchio.com&#x2F;pubs&#x2F;slides&#x2F;crunchconf_2018&#x2F;sl...</a>
