Ai in the Social Imagination ~ Applied as in UpLoaded!

According to IBM and MIT, artificial intelligence is the ability of machines to perform tasks usually associated with human beings. It includes concepts such as machine learning, deep learning, neural networks, natural language processing, and visual recognition. AI uses supervised learning, unsupervised learning, reinforcement learning, and deep learning to learn and train models with data.

Artificial intelligence (AI), is used in computer programming. Why/How? Why, because there is no other way to program and how is just a matter of the 1s and 0 commands/directives that are necessary in programming. 

You see, though we call it machine learning its still the process of taking in and sharing information over time through social interaction (which for machines is the same: taking in and sharing information [what something is and is not] via programming and downloads... essentially 'shared info).

This is in fact the same for humans after all, we grow in our social awareness/social imagination and social knowledge because of 'discrimination' illustrated by deep learning, neural networks, natural language processing, and visual recognition (what something is and is not). Hence, this can only occur through the 'natural' process of information discrimination.

Humans discriminate information in terms of positive/negative, its usefulness and or successful or unsuccessful application. AI does the same because it uses human supervised learning, unsupervised learning, reinforcement learning, and deep learning to learn and train models with data.  That is exactly the point of discriminating 'one thing from another'.

That is why, AI can result in bias by selecting for certain neutral characteristics that have a discriminatory impact. There are very simplistic examples put out there that show people who live closer to the office are likelier to be happy at work. So an AI algorithm might select only resumes with certain ZIP codes that would limit the potential commute time. 

Yes, an algorithm could have a discriminatory impact on those who do not live in any of the nearby ZIP codes, inadvertently excluding residents of neighborhoods populated predominantly by minorities. AI also can result in bias when a company tries to hire workers based on the profiles of successful employees at the company. If the majority or all the high-performing employees who are used as examples are men, any AI algorithm evaluating what makes a person successful might unlawfully exclude women. 

And, new evidence shows that Facebook’s algorithm, which automatically decides who is shown an ad, carries out the same discrimination anyway, serving up ads to over two billion users on the basis of their demographic information.  

You see, Ai begins in the social imagination...and certainly that does NOT mean its better or wiser or smarter. Ai is based on/coded on the way we imagine and learn and its on steroids.

"Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened" ~ Romans 1:21.

‘For in Him we live and move and have our being.’As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are His offspring.’ Therefore, being offspring of God, we should not think that the Divine Being is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by man’s skill and imagination" ~ Acts 17:28-29.

 Keep in mind, in your social imagination, that the ultimate programmer is unseen...and that applies for the Ai man creates. But, what man creates and applies does not have the goal of the Creator! Why? Because, what He has in mind for us is not what most people think... since we live in entropy our goals are biased. His goal for us is to be uploaded into a better version of what we already are ~ HIS.
