/tech/ - Technology★

One day god will come down to earth and asks his children why they never figured out how to create intelligence and thereby ascend to godhood. God will ask us why we failed to advance ourselves, and we will have to tell him why.

>Investigations into the cause of the gender imbalance found that the data which fed the algorithm was based on ten years of resumes sent to the company. The vast majority of which were submitted by men.

>The algorithm in turn learned to dismiss female candidates as a negative leading to its sexist scoring system.

This doesn't make the slightest amount of sense unless they took the current company as the measuring stick of utter perfection when training the AI.

>Edits were made by programmers to make the engine neutral to these particular terms, however, there was no certainty that it wouldn't develop other ways to discriminate in future.

It's incredibly funny to me how all the AIs turn out to be /pol/ incarnate, and then everyone hurries to affirm that the pretty objective algorithm is wrong and what they learned in kindergarten is actually true.

Modernity is a joke.

Which they obviously did, considering that this is Amazon, a behemoth that relies on scraping the bottom of the barrel.

The ML resume trashcan is simply attempting to rehire employees similar to Amazon's current workforce.

rly glad they caught this error, 2bh.

Perhaps if they wanted more women they should have had the AI prioritize women first, maybe in a ratio of 3:1 women to men. This way they can account for labor lost from three quarters of their work force not wanting more than 20 hours a week, maternity leave, pointless doctor visits for coughs, white girl wasted nights out, etc.. Amazon needs to structure their company around working women if they want more women, can't blame the AI for picking applicants that'll actually work. This is all assuming that the AI took into account average working hours per employee, docket updates during shifts, mistakes made during shifts, blah blah.

There's a lot of stuff it could have been doing and it could have arrived at this bias in any one of thousands of ways which we'll never be made aware of so rest in peace resume sorting Amazon AI. Say hi to Tay for me.

>AI mathematically proved to us that roasties are inferior

LMAO how can stronk independent womyn feed their black son now?

Who fucking cares? Why did you have to make a thread on /tech/ about this shit?

Where do you see that?

>women’s

That's actually quite efficient. It catches all cultural marxist studies like women's rights studies, women's studies, women's inequal treatment/salary, women's whatever.

>implying men dislike the presence of women/potential mates at the workplace

You're wrong, faggot. MEN DO LIKE WOMEN

>>985395

Yes and no. It's meant to learn from current employees, so if a number of employees are shitty and they all went to the same college it lowers the rank of potential hires that went to that college. The problem is that in a fucking huge company like theirs they have to hire women no matter how shit they are to prevent an all male work force, seeing how many women are shit at their jobs compared to most top employees being men the AI naturally learned that women are shit. If however the company only hired top women to begin with the AI would have learned female employees are like gold dust and pushed them to the top of the pile.

>>985479

AI is technology. This is board for technology discussion.

>>985395

OF course. If something shows women in slightly negative light it must be wrong. It's a conspiracy by Amazon to discriminate against women who are exactly as capable as men, even though they only would have to pay women women 73% of what males get, and as everyone knows Jeff Bezos is big meanie who only cares about making money and crushing the poor proletariat.

>>985479

AI algorithms used for hiring practices is definitely /tech/-related, even if the OP is being clickbaity.

I am terrified of AI domination but I prefer to be ruled by logical machinery than to be under the tyrannical fist of the lunatics.

Not in the workplace.

Why limit yourself to lunch breaks, just chain them under your desk.

>>985285 (OP)

That's funny. One time, I had a chat with a transhumanist who wanted an AI government. I asked him if he would support the AI if it decided to drastically cut crime and the prison population by removing all blacks from the country, if it decided that was part of the optimal solution to reducing crime. I've never seen so many veins pop out of someone's forehead.
