Google's New Machine Learning Curriculum Aims to Stop Bias Cold

Google loves machine learning (ML). Now, it's launched a new course module that aims to help you, a human, recognize your own bias before training ML models. Named'Fairness,' the course is 70 minutes on how humans are compromising machine learning models. As ML practitioners build, evaluate, and deploy machine learning models, they should keep fairness considerations (such as how different demographics of people will be affected by a model's predictions) in the forefront of their minds. Additionally, they should proactively develop strategies to identify and ameliorate the effects of algorithmic bias.
