Just a note on Reading. The place, not so much. Wouldn’t it be great to have all that matter, be more well-read in the world’s literature.

Hence this might be added, or this. … Continue reading “Bookish.com”

The Dutch Central Bank released a discussion paper on general principles. On AI in Finance. Here. Oh my. What a great attempt it seemed. But by simply reading it, before studying, one finds … the usual suspect #fail’s. Like, the decades-old big Error of non-orthagonality (Basel-II big-time #fail in Ops Risk, remember?). The principles have … Continue reading “Dreaming of oversight, AI version: the wrong dream.”

Have naming conventions already sprung up around home eavesdropping listening devices ..? Since ‘Alexa’ and ‘Siri’ may be too boring. Then I would want to call it Computer, since then I’d be able to all the time say ‘OK Computer’. Not even for this. But certainly for this, that one would get a lot when … Continue reading “Naming conventions”

When strategy is culture’s breakfast, ethics are your ethics’ lunch – you’re so much more biased by very accidental culture than you think. Those involved in anti-biasing AI, tend to belong to a very small group of ‘first world’ affluent (sic) secondary-productive counterweights.

So that next round of business activity, you’ll do better. We need to … Continue reading “You included what ??“

There’s a possibility, i.e. chance > zero, that AI can be deployed to undo biases that we humans, used as we are to patterns and stereotyping due to evolutionary advantages of that though we’re also prone to type overly long sentences again, are prone to. Mostly, AI is still seen [at time of scheduling of … Continue reading “DARPA to the rescue”

Just a warning; the world altogether is moving into the danger zone now. Not qua global warming, the threshold on that has been passed already … Not on plastic soup, that’s approaching insurmountability-before-collapse (in this style). But of a more encompassing style, as typical in the lack of real response to this: ‘Predictive’ profiling creeping … Continue reading “Danger zone”

Just an intermission: The Internet is broken. Stark claim. But, some proof: I conducted a little A/B test with my posts. Yes, there’s many bias and systemic deviation possibilities, but most probably, they effect neutrally. The test being, which post would get most views; either short texts or long(er) ones, either with many links or … Continue reading “Intermission: A/B – the Net is broken”

If you parse that onto movie(X, Y, Z) and assuming you have the most basic of understanding about the world around you [I mean, be able to recognise that as a Prolog (-style) goal] you’ll end up with the right reference. ’cause of some, at face/title value, laudable effort, as here: Rules for AI.
