Once again lack of representation and #bias in #wikipedia comes through, this time as authors compile a database of notable people: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41597-022-01369-4. With so much information now available online in multiple languages, especially in audio and video formats now, I wonder if anyone is trying to figure out ways of incorporating it into something similar or akin to Wikipedia? #digitalhumanies #openaccess #globalsouth

#OpenAI’s #GPT Is #Recruiter’s Dream Tool. Tests Show There’s #RacialBias

Research showing LLMs' (chat AI) covert racism, triggered by dialects, is even worse than their explicit racism. An example of when you can be shocked but not surprised. via Gary Marcus https://garymarcus.substack.com/p/covert-racism-in-llms #AI #Bias #chatAI #LLM
Sustein and a collaborator, the jurist Timor Kuran, invented a name for the mechanism through which biases flow into policy: the availability cascade.
[...]
An availability cascade is a self-sustaining chain of events, which may start from media reports of a relatively minor event and lead up to public panic and large-scale government action.

What is it like to be a Black woman in a USian business? Here is a glimpse.
Last week my spouse came home stressed because none of the white men above her were listening. She was telling them that they were on the verge of getting overexposed for selling wildfire insurance in California. She said they needed to close sales of policies in several zip codes, and they said "Well, then we cannot make a profit!" There was no action even though she has a Ph.D. and runs complex numerical models for her company. One salesman, who claimed to be a numbers guy, said she was threatening to close down sales in 50% of the state; she was suggesting 16% of the zip codes be closed, and they were not generally populous ones. She took a lot of flack, and compromised to say that instead of closing them, they could …

Until today. Today, a white man above her is being lauding for saying they they should cut sales by 80% in the same zip codes my spouse suggested. Smh.
Folks, don't be like those people. Don't be that guy. Check your biases!
