Questions from Deepa, Oct. 23
In reading Design Justice, A.I., and Escape from the Matrix of Domination by Sasha Costanza-Chock:
“..norms, values, assumptions – are encoded in and reproduced through the design of sociotechnical data-driven systems.” My question here is
a) Do you think Netflix’ algorithm which has skewed towards suggesting more Netflix-originals over other shows than before can be justified? Who is to be held accountable for transparency on the designs of algorithm?
and
b) By making effective use of the bias that A.I. systems have, are we making it more human?
Yet another question I am pondering over in relation to the articles by David Rotman and Dan Robitzski is: How far are from making A.I. affordable, durable and accessible globally? How can this actively happen when we are considering the pace at which shifts in technology have taken place in the past few decades versus the state of economy.
