Alex Pentland on Algorithms - Dictionary of Arguments
Brockman I 204 Algorithms/Pentland: If we have the data that go into and out of each decision, we can easily ask, Is this a fair algorithm? Is this AI doing things that we as humans believe are ethical? This human in-the-loop approach is called “open algorithms”; you get to see what the Als take as input and what they decide using that input. If you see those two things, you’ll know whether they’re doing the right thing or the wrong thing. It turns out that’s not hard to do. If you control the data, then you control the AI. >Artificial intelligence/Pentland, >Ecosystems/Pentland, >Decision-making processes/Pentland, >Cybernetics/Pentland.
