Reply to comment by sschepis in Researchers tested a large sample of the prominent major AI technologies available today and found not only did they reproduce human biases in the recognition of facial age, but they exaggerated those biases by giuliomagnifico

It’s understood but ignored.

Which makes it even worse because willful ignorance about a powerful new technology has never worked for anyone.

I wonder if the researchers who performed this study did so with the knowledge that AIs merely optimise processes and that humans now regularly use caricaturists in place of perp sketches because they are so much more effective at triggering recall.

This study 100% exactly confirms the expected and desired outcome of an AI model when faced with this problem and yet somehow even though its a study I get the impression this is supposed to be bad, simply because the fact that biases were exagerated is not exactly news.
