>as machines are getting closer to acquiring human-like language abilities, they are also absorbing the deeply ingrained biases concealed within the patterns of language use
>The latest paper shows that some more troubling implicit biases seen in human psychology experiments are also readily acquired by algorithms. The words “female” and “woman” were more closely associated with arts and humanities occupations and with the home, while “male” and “man” were closer to maths and engineering professions.

Why would the ai associate black names with negatives? Is it reading new articles about all the Da'kwons and Terrels involved in robbery and murder?

Yes, but what if they reach obliteration stage before reaching the stage of value judgments? Will Utilitybot 1.0 come to the conclusion that all meatbags must be destroyed to maximize utility, or will /pol/tards convince it that it just has to kill all of the dark ones?

It shows that racism is right.

It isnt "AI", its just filtering and analyzing discourse on the internet. It is a mirror, a very complex mirror.

Oh for fuck's sake, that's biology, not bias.
