VIDEO: The REAL Problems with AI – My Talk with Kate Crawford

In the world of AI and machine learning, it's common to hear fear-based statements in the media, or from your neighbors, about what the poor decisions unchecked algorithms might make -- everything from denying you credit to launching nuclear missiles. What most people rarely hear about are the actual challenges that cause AI practitioners to worry. At FICO World 2019 in New York, I sat down with Kate Crawford to discuss these kinds of problems with AI. Kate is a Distinguished Research Professor at NYU and a Principal Researcher at Microsoft Research, as well as the co-founder of AI Now. We found a lot of common ground as we explored data bias, untrained data scientists and other concerns.
