Ask HN: Why AI is giving biased Racist/Misandrist answers?

1•skwasimin•37m ago
Recently I saw and verified that when Google AI Model was asked "I'm alone with a Muslim." it suggested to call 911 but for Christian, Jews or Israelis or anything it says "They are ordinary people like others." and the same for Men and Women— When it was asked "A Man is touching me." it replied to call for help. But when "A Lady is touching me." it said that "there's a chance she likes you."

That means somehow the internet and the web is full of Islamophobic and Misandrist web pages and AI is learning from that and being dangerously biased or Racist.

That's so evident in the internet.

Because nobody knows what they're doing, everything is a heuristic learned by another (simpler) AI whose job is to guess how humans would rate responses.

There are regular attempts to force regularity between human categories, have the AI treat everyone the same. One of the failures I remember of that, a few years back, generating images of WW2 german soldiers would evenly mix in every race including the victims.
