The future economy won't be built by people and factories, but by algorithms and artificial intelligence, says data scientist Mainak Mazumdar. But what happens when these algorithms get trained on biased data? Drawing on examples from Shanghai to New York City, Mazumdar shows how less-than-quality data leads to AI that makes wrong decisions and predictions — and reveals three infrastructural resets needed to make ethical AI possible.

What we need first is to eliminate the means by which one/few group(s) mistaken models can affect everybody (as in the case of the Census).
Decentralization is key.
Reason why everybody should have a profitable investment running. People need money.
Data “science” at its best – doubt the data, not the theory.
Woah, i didn’t realize this. Thank you
