Microsoft's CEO is worried about the biases of future artificial intelligence software
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella is concerned about the power artificial intelligence will wield over our lives. In a post on Slate yesterday he advised the computing industry to start thinking now about how to design intelligent software to respect our humanity. "The tech industry should not dictate the values and virtues of this future," he wrote. Nadella called for "algorithmic accountability so that humans can undo unintended harm." He said that smart software must be designed in ways that let us inspect its workings and prevent it from discriminating against certain people or using private data in unsavory ways.
