Thank you for this perspective. What concerns me is your point about bias getting hard coded. Humans, as flawed as we are, can self-reflect and aspire to embrace higher values. Can AI do that? Can they be aware of a bias and seek to dispel or dismiss it and embrace a new point of view? Otherwise, how can we make social progress with AI so embedded in our lives? Already Google and Facebook reinforce bias by creating bubbles of opinion, tailoring our search results and the news we see, making it harder for us to break out of our entrenched views. Polarization is already dangerously out of control. P.S. Love that I had to log in with Facebook to comment on this post.
