To do in NYC next Sat, May 11: "The Bigot in the Machine," a panel on algorithmic bias from PEN and McSweeney's

yeah, I was thinking this would be interesting as well. Especially someone working to deal with eliminating biases in the algorithms. It would be great to bring these groups together. AI based solely on the data available will invariably just reflect the biases currently in society (and thus the data). To get around it, some human input would be needed to adjust for biases… and then you just run into the same “humans are biased” issue without careful consideration of how/what you are doing to adjust for biases.
