Google Wants to Use Machine Learning to Keep AI Data Unbiased

Brian Green, director, technology ethics, quoted by The Daily Upside.

With the increasing capabilities of AI models in collecting and analyzing data, there needs to be safeguards against biases. Google plans to patent and use a "clustering model" that works to group data and then balance types of data, with the hopes of creating a model that mitigates bias.

“Every model is going to be limited by its dataset, and every dataset is going to be limited by its sampling,” said Green. 

Creating unbiased datasets can also create overcorrections that lead to inaccuracies, Green noted.

“Ultimately, it’s a really complex problem, and it’s going to require a really complex solution.”
