An image of @BarackObama getting upsampled into a white guy is floating around because it illustrates racial bias in #MachineLearning. Just in case you think it isn't real, it is, I got the code working locally. Here is me, and here is @AOC.

@realcaseyrollins @peterdrake most neural networks that process the photos of real people can't work with anyone who is not an european and who wear glasses. It just messes up with NN which never seen that or not trained enough.

I'm not a scientist but I'm not sure how this can be solved technically. But I guess it would an interesting and game changing paper if somebody started to research this.
@blight @peterdrake @realcaseyrollins I doubt it's racist but yes, we all look different and NNs just can't remember it yet. Or they wasn't trained for that.

Luckily, all NN stuff is mostly at research level. It would a lot funnier to see when corporations will not train their AI on all kind of people: black, mongolian, australian and so on. That would be a nice chance to call them on court.
@realcaseyrollins @blight @peterdrake why tf not?

I mean, someone should have a responsibility on AI. How can you scare the computer? Delete the model? I doubt it's trained to care.

@a1batross @blight @peterdrake I would love to see this happen. somebody is sure to be this irresponsible with their AI

@realcaseyrollins @blight @peterdrake remember the Microsoft's chat bot that was trained by reading Twitter that "Hitler was right"?

Yeah, I imagine something like this but when it will be sold to people and will affect their reputation.

@a1batross @blight @peterdrake Haha well I am proud to say that my bot @notcaseyrollins hasn't said anything racist, although @CvcvcvEbooks certainly does

so it's definitely all in the data

Potentially NSFW 

@realcaseyrollins I never called you far left. I also enjoyed the Rule of Four series.

@realcaseyrollins @blight @peterdrake @notcaseyrollins @CvcvcvEbooks it's __only__ data.
The current state of AI is really primitive and not nearly close to what's written in books.

The NNs are not new either. They are just trending now and we also have enough computing power to literally throw them into a wall and see what sticks.

@a1batross Both are wrong. #Trump's military advisers says we still have my main freeze on my PC either. Times out.
