Machine learning is fundamentally conservative
Teach AI using our behaviour, AI learns our behaviour. A bit like our children. I&#x27;m genuinely confused as to the alternative.<p>The objection seems to be based on the falasy that technological progress equals social or political &quot;progress&quot;. Why on earth would we expect AI descision making to display a lack of prejudice when human decision making is suffused with it.<p>The only people who expect technology to act like a benevolent god are the ones who have replaced their god with it. All technological progress does is to increase the power and influence of human beings. The progress the writer seems to want is socio- political, not technological.
