AI Incident Database
This is interesting, but the presence of so many incidents that ultimately have nothing to do with AI is disappointing.<p>Consider this incident:<p><a href="https://incidentdatabase.ai/cite/73/#r1325" rel="nofollow">https://incidentdatabase.ai/cite/73/#r1325</a><p>>Description: Through a crowdsourcing social media campaign in 2016, several journalists and researchers demonstrated that augmented reality locations in the popular smartphone game Pokemon Go were more likely to be in white neighborhoods.<p>>Alleged: Niantic Labs developed and deployed an AI system, which harmed non-white neighborhoods and communities of color.<p>Crowd-sourcing is not "AI".  And the linked articles are things like Nintendo redesigning the pokemon Jynx to not look so much like a racial charicature.<p>It's hard to see the value of this sort of database if the indexed items are so unreliable. How can I trust any conclusions I might draw unless I go through item-by-item to verify them?
