AI is An Ideology, Not A Technology wired.com/story/opinion-ai-i… via @wired No comment. Just read. Interesting reflections.
A reminder that AI does not do miracles by itself. It needs unbiased data and skills how to apply machine learning. Policy makers intend to regulate the private sector, they should not forget their own, public sector. technologyreview.com/2020/08…
