"As is increasingly the case, China is in the vanguard of digital
culture here. The rest of the world is beginning to wake up to the
serious threat of bias as AI-powered algorithms are deployed more
widely. China has moved beyond that stage and is now actively
weaponizing bias to push a government agenda. This is a useful warning
to those who see algorithmic decision-making as the solution to hard
problems."
Alan Cox added "The irony is you don’t have to add bias. AI’s already
promote mainstream values - they reflect their training data not any
vision of the future. They are mainstream - that’s why they are racist
and sexist."
