I dont think that Google and Facebook are accidentally reinforcing these existing [biased] systems,\u201d the 30-year-old said Wednesday during a panel discussion at a Berlin tech conference, after she was welcomed by frantic applause.<\/p>\n<p>She said companies were instead blaming technology for discrimination included in their algorithms, for example, those used to power Googles search engine or Facebooks timeline.<\/p>\n<p>From teachers ranking systems to examining X-rays for cancer cells, artificial intelligence is increasingly used to make life-changing decisions that were formerly in the hands of humans.<\/p>\n<p>Such \u201cdeep learning\u201d \u2014 the technology at the core of most state-of-the-art artificial intelligence \u2013 offers vast opportunities, but also relies heavily on analyzing troves of data from \u201cthe real world,\u201d which leads to many programs incorporating familiar human biases, such as racism, homophobia or misogyny.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, it is often difficult or even impossible to fully reconstruct how an algorithm makes individual decisions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe really need to figure out how to hold people who develop machine learning accountable,\u201d Manning said. \u201cIt is more than just hype. Its dangerous.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A former U.S. Army private, Manning was convicted of leaking more than 700,000 government files to WikiLeaks and received a 35-year prison term which was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/article\/obama-commutes-chelsea-mannings-sentence\/\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">commuted by U.S. President Barack Obama<\/a> in the final days of his presidency in January 2017, 7 years after Manning was imprisoned. Manning was released from prison in May 2017.<\/p>\n<p>Manning said Wednesday that during her deployment as an intelligence analyst in Iraq in 2010, some \u201clife and death decisions for a lot of people\u201d were also \u201cbased on incomplete data sets.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this year, Manning <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/article\/chelsea-manning-files-for-us-senate-run\/\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">filed paperwork<\/a> to run for a seat in the U.S. Senate.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/article\/chelsea-manning-google-and-facebook-deliberately-use-biased-algorithms\/?utm_source=RSS_Feed&amp;utm_medium=RSS&amp;utm_campaign=RSS_Syndication\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Original Article<\/a><\/p>\n<p> [contf] [contfnew]         <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com\/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRMd3Tz2gX9xSa6CJyaOj2dokBVcrdaT4yY3R3RI7YmL18vCLZZ\"\/> <\/p>\n<h5><a href=\"http:\/\/www.politico.com\/&gt;Politico&lt;\/a&gt;&lt;\/h5&gt;_&lt;\/p&gt;[contfnewc]_[contfnewc]_&lt;\/body&gt;&lt;\/html&gt;\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><\/h5>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BERLIN \u2014 Whistleblower Chelsea Manning warned that machine-l..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":77268,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[50],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-77265","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tech"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
