About Trump and biased machine learning algorithms
A very interesting article by Cathy O’Neil on the relationship of machine learning in our political and policy spheres. She makes a quick, but to the point observation on Donald Trump: He is not like normal people. In particular, he doesn’t have any principles to speak of, that might guide him. No moral compass. That doesn’t mean he doesn’t have a … Continue reading "About Trump and biased machine learning algorithms"
