Needless to say, using automated bias machines should be outlawed. We don't want it from people, and we certainly don't want to from more people, at a faster rate, mediated by machines, with no warnings and no recourse. Ugh. Why is this even something that needs to be said.

For those that didn't read through, I find this the most revealing: "Retorio’s AI was trained using videos of more than 12,000 people of different ages, gender and ethnic backgrounds, according to the company. An additional 2,500 people rated how they perceived them in terms of the personality dimensions based on the Big Five model. According to the the start-up the AI‘s assessments have an accuracy of 90 percent compared to those of a group of human observers."
So what you now have is an automated processes to reproduce the biases of 2500 people. You can get your biased judgements so much quicker now! It's an efficient prejudice machine.

I have smashed together two emojis to perfectly illustrate my reactions to the achievements of the artificial intelligence community!

(Please note that I majored in biology and "new" artificial intelligence… in the last millennium.)

I think this credit in "Understanding intelligenceOctober" (1999) by Rolf Pfeifer and Christian Scheier is the only thing that's left:

"A big thanks goes to Norman Cook of Kansai University and to Paolo Gaudiano of Boston University, and to three anonymous reviewers for their critical reading and their extremely valuable and constructive remarks. Their suggestions have helped improve the text tremendously. Many students from our classes have also supplied us with valuable suggestions. In particular, we thank Marcel Altherr, Natalie Glaus, and Alex Schröder. Isabelle Follath deserves all the credit for the cartoons, without which the book would not be half as much fun. Alex Riegler did a great job in designing the numerous technical illustrations. And last, but not least, a big thanks goes to Eveline Wittmer for managing all the figures."

Always credit the students! 😄
