“This is at least the start of the correct way to deal with bias in Artifical Intelligence: ‘A police chief has admitted artificial intelligence used to boost crime fighting will contain bias but pledged to combat the risks.’ At the heart of the point is the question, well, is reality biased? There are certainly those myriads who insist it is, yes. OK, so we want to use AI to aid us in managing reality. Therefore the AI has to start from the point that reality is biased. And those shrieking loudest about reality’s bias are the very people who should be insisting the AI recognises that bias. Because we need the results from the AI to reflect reality.” (02/25/26)
