The implication was that AI could deal with it dispassionately and let the chips fall where they may.
I haven't seen the Palantir document, but my response to it would be, "oh you sweet summer child."
Anything that shows a racial difference and paints blacks in a bad light will be called racist. There is no "chips fall where they may" - there is only excuses, an endless sea of excuses for black behavior.
Consider this:
In what possible way could metal detectors be racist? It doesn't matter! It "disproportionally affects" blacks, so that's a bad thing.
Why would a law against jaywalking be a bad thing? The law applies to everyone equally. Oh right, it's bad because blacks just can't help themselves but break the rules.
I also have examples specifically about AI:
If you say something "hateful" the algorithm flags it ...but that's bad because it ends up flagging mostly blacks.
The AI had no demographic data - only crime data. "Most crime is happening in these neighborhoods" says the AI. But that's bad because those neighborhoods are black.
So what do they do? They are training the AI be a flaming SJW. When it sees a black person committing a crime, it must learn to make the same excuses that human leftists make. There's no "chips fall where they may" here.
I don't have any examples that are specifically about race, but here's one about gender. AI has been taught to pretend that it doesn't know that boys like football more than girls
Here's one about religion. the AI has been taught to dislike christians ...just like they do on reddit.
So here's what's going to happen with Palantir, or any company that uses AI in any law enforcement capacity: if their system sees that blacks are committing a disproportionate amount of crime, they will be forced to modify it to ignore black crime.
This is why "social credit scores" will be such a dystopian nightmare. You might imagine it'd be great to live in a clean city, because the ever-watchful AI sees anyone who litters, and reduces their social credit score. But LOL NO! THAT'S MEAN TO NON-WHITES ...can't have that. So social credit will only apply to whites and asians. If
you step out of line, the state will punish you. But you'll be surrounded by privileged people who can do as they please.
It's basically the same system that the left has established for crime. Blacks can stab you in the face. So you have to live in fear of that. But if you so much utter an unkind word, they'll put you in jail.
