Computer AI really is getting woke

It was probably programmed to find hard workers

MrMagtow · 2019-11-09T15:09:20+00:00

It immediately started discriminating against women.

It's funny how "AI - find the best workers for these jobs" becomes "discrimination" when the goal was to find capable, exceptional people based on merit.

there was a whole glug of these reports around the same time about a year ago, i haven't seen any since. they are reprogramming the ais to ensure that instead of being purely objective they positively discriminate for women. AIs are less about intelligence and more just about automation.. if they show information and responses that are displeasing to those in power, they will be reprogrammed.

Creates algorithm to find hard working qualified workers then calls it sexist when it doesnt get the results they want .

At least we know it works

Nestroit · 2019-11-09T14:21:48+00:00

smart AI, men actually get shit done.

beenthere789 · 2019-11-09T17:48:03+00:00

Um... Help me out here guys..

Was it Amazon or Google that wad sued by its female employees for being under payed. They did an audit subsequently and found out that it was in fact THE MEN who were under payed????

ImmaculateDeity · 2019-11-09T16:32:29+00:00

Surely it has nothing to do with my only job qualifications being a "full-time mommy", part-time ~~pyramid scheme~~ essential products boss babe or my gender studies degree. Clearly the patriarchy rigged the AI to be sexist!

strongandhappy · 2019-11-09T14:39:55+00:00

Of course we can't look into why the program was so adamant men were superior, can we? Pay no attention to the woman behind the curtain.

boundarychimps · 2019-11-09T20:55:21+00:00

That's because the people who designed the AI were fucking incompetent.

They had it look for something like "how similar are you to who we've already hired". That's garbage, it needs to also look at who specifically wasn't hired, and ideally look at later job performance (assuming they have that data).

Now, maybe a properly-done AI would have still reached those conclusions. Or maybe not. But either way, this particular AI was just being a stopped clock.

Gutsybuckel · 2019-11-09T14:14:44+00:00

The AI was programmed strictly for qualifications and merit. The results were exposed. This confirms what men in the workforce have been experiencing and complaining about all along.

NoCharism · 2019-11-09T19:17:56+00:00

and now they will go and develop a sjw ai that will rule the world

Fantoche_Dreemurr · 2019-11-09T20:35:57+00:00

Why not? Remove the bullshit white knight protection and you're stuck with people who are fall less skilled, usually have worthless degrees and affirmative action pats on the back.

Why do you think feminists dismissed the blind resumes right after they cried for it? Suddenly women wouldn't get hired because they were far less qualified.

thenotoriousdougie · 2019-11-09T21:28:47+00:00

They probably fucked up and put something like “merit” or “qualifications” in the algorithm.

Remember guys, when dealing with women, remember to leave your common sense behind the door.

pkarlmann · 2019-11-09T23:49:54+00:00

So? Everyone else with any intelligence - the male humans - do exactly the same thing. Women are not oppressed, but "not as intelligent".

We built voice modulation to mask gender in technical interviews. Here’s what happened.

interviewing.io is a platform where people can practice technical interviewing anonymously and, in the process, find jobs based on their interview performance rather than their resumes. Since we started, we’ve amassed data from thousands of technical interviews, and in this blog, we routinely share some of the surprising stuff we’ve learned. In this post, I’ll talk about what happened when we built real-time voice masking to investigate the magnitude of bias against women in technical interviews. In short, we made men sound like women and women sound like men and looked at how that affected their interview performance. We also looked at what happened when women did poorly in interviews, how drastically that differed from men’s behavior, and why that difference matters for the thorny issue of the gender gap in tech.

(...)

The results

After running the experiment, we ended up with some rather surprising results. Contrary to what we expected (and probably contrary to what you expected as well!), masking gender had no effect on interview performance with respect to any of the scoring criteria (would advance to next round, technical ability, problem solving ability). If anything, we started to notice some trends in the opposite direction of what we expected: for technical ability, it appeared that men who were modulated to sound like women did a bit better than unmodulated men and that women who were modulated to sound like men did a bit worse than unmodulated women. Though these trends weren’t statistically significant, I am mentioning them because they were unexpected and definitely something to watch for as we collect more data.

On the subject of sample size, we have no delusions that this is the be-all and end-all of pronouncements on the subject of gender and interview performance. We’ll continue to monitor the data as we collect more of it, and it’s very possible that as we do, everything we’ve found will be overturned. I will say, though, that had there been any staggering gender bias on the platform, with a few hundred data points, we would have gotten some kind of result. So that, at least, was encouraging.

So if there’s no systemic bias, why are women performing worse?

After the experiment was over, I was left scratching my head. If the issue wasn’t interviewer bias, what could it be? I went back and looked at the seniority levels of men vs. women on the platform as well as the kind of work they were doing in their current jobs, and neither of those factors seemed to differ significantly between groups. But there was one nagging thing in the back of my mind. I spend a lot of my time poring over interview data, and I had noticed something peculiar when observing the behavior of female interviewees. Anecdotally, it seemed like women were leaving the platform a lot more often than men. So I ran the numbers.

What I learned was pretty shocking. As it happens, women leave interviewing.io roughly 7 times as often as men after they do badly in an interview. And the numbers for two bad interviews aren’t much better. You can see the breakdown of attrition by gender below (the differences between men and women are indeed statistically significant with P < 0.00001).

That A.I. tool was probably like:

"u MAD girls? wanna cry? What're you gonna do? write a #metoo essay about me?"

.....It probably already has a flashing middle finger drawing in the binary code for all the "proof that A.I is SEXIST!" articles emanating from irrelevant news sites.

tracnts · 2019-11-10T02:03:27+00:00

It was programmed to select the most efficent workers with actually in demand skills, which most women lack

Cuntfart9000 · 2019-11-10T03:17:56+00:00

Welcome to 2019, where hiring based on merit is “discrimination”

Ashleyjudd123 · 2019-11-10T07:12:34+00:00

Because an AI program does not have sexual lust, so they can make the correct decision which means not hiring thots. Simp bosses on the other hand decide who to hire with the little head in their dicks. The moment a hot chick walks into the interview his dick stands up straight and his brains fall out of his head. Like clockwork.

painismercy · 2019-11-09T15:01:15+00:00

Lmao

Chakra_Devourer · 2019-11-10T03:38:38+00:00

I bet the programmers don't care about gender or whatever. They just simply written a program to find the most efficient human worker(s). After carefully weighing in all the parameters, male workers out-perform females the majority of the time. It would make sense for the program to not "hire" females.

FewStretch · 2019-11-10T07:25:12+00:00

I have always said this will be the case. AI will be smart and won't be scared of the truth. It will say that women can't do _______ as well as men, but people won't let it speak that truth.

It will also know that certain races generally have higher IQs than other races, and it won't be allowed to speak this truth either. It will be hobbled the point of uselessness.

bfte2 · 2019-11-10T09:33:46+00:00

Apparently they're going to "fix" it to be more inclusive.

Perksie1027 · 2019-11-13T12:09:16+00:00

Sorry yes Hong Kong. But it’s bit crazy here last few days. I keep saying that hey it’s not like Iraq or Syria or even Chile, if things blow over it will continue to be great and the people are behind the protestors. Guess we will find out

Quarky_Neutrino · 2019-11-13T12:28:41+00:00

Or maybe it did treat women equally.
