It's all fun and games until AI models decide your type of people (blonde/brown/from that zip code/with that type of last name/went to that school/worked there in the past/have those facial features) are "bad" or "untrustworthy" or don't deserve healthcare or to be hired for that job or get a mortgage.
"AI" bias has existed for as long as we have had "AI" in its various forms. Remember ML algorithms classifying black people as monkeys? And the "solution" was to make them unable to find monkeys or primates. That one got big because of the implication.. when it's "people with the last name Smith being dumb", nobody will care
Has nothing to do with bias popup. What next? Need to slap a "chocking hazard" label on small items? Keep out of reach of children on medicines? Oh wai...
The alternative is businesses are not held to account. I'd much rather have a cookie pop-up and GDPR notices than businesses have no guard rails against moves that are not in the interest of the user/customer.
Or hear me out...mandate cookie setting option in browser (no cookie, essential cookies, tracking cookies) instead of fuking prompt in every single site. That also allows me to not let sites ask and force essential cookies everywhere.
or block tracking altogether.
these cookie banners collectively wasted billions of hours for no gain.
2 is generous. 5 is more likely.
Also can't wait to get bombarded with cookie popup, ai bias popup, then ai accuracy popup etc.
Anything more then a powerpoint coming out of this would be a generous expectation.
