Artificial intelligence is infiltrating our daily lives, with applications that curate your phone pics, manage your email, and translate text from any language into another. Google, Facebook, Apple, and Microsoft are all heavily researching how to integrate AI into their major services. How To Watch The Full Star Wars Tie Fighter Movie. Soon youll likely interact with an AI or its output every time you pick up your phone. Should you trust itNot always. AI can analyze data more quickly and accurately than humans, but it can also inherit our biases. To learn, it needs massive quantities of data, and the easiest way to find that data is to feed it text from the internet. But the internet contains some extremely biased language. A Stanford study found that an internet trained AI associated stereotypically white names with positive words like love, and black names with negative words like failure and cancer. Luminoso Chief Science Officer Rob Speer oversees the open source data set Concept. Net Numberbatch, which is used as a knowledge base for AI systems. He tested one of Numberbatchs data sources and found obvious problems with their word associations. When fed the analogy question Man is to woman as shopkeeper is to. It similarly associated women with sewing and cosmetics. While these associations might be appropriate for certain applications, they would cause problems in common AI tasks like evaluating job applicants. An AI doesnt know which associations are problematic, so it would have no problem ranking a womans rsum lower than an identical rsum from a man. Similarly, when Speer tried building a restaurant review algorithm, it rated Mexican food lower because it had learned to associate Mexican with negative words like illegal. So Speer went in and de biased Concept. Net. He identified inappropriate associations and adjusted them to zero, while maintaining appropriate associations like manuncle and womanaunt. He did the same with words related to race, ethnicity, and religion. To fight human bias, it took a human. Numberbatch is the only semantic database with built in de biasing, Speer says in an email. Hes happy for this competitive advantage, but he hopes other knowledge bases will follow suit This is the threat of AI in the near term. Its not some sci fi scenario where robots take over the world. Its AI powered services making decisions we dont understand, where the decisions turn out to hurt certain groups of people. The scariest thing about this bias is how invisibly it can take over. According to Speer, some people will go through life not knowing why they get fewer opportunities, fewer job offers, more interactions with the police or the TSA. Of course, he points out, racism and sexism are baked into society, and promising technological advances, even when explicitly meant to counteract them, often amplify them. Theres no such thing as an objective tool built on subjective data. So AI developers bear a huge responsibility to find the flaws in their AI and address them. There should be more understanding of whats real and whats hype, Speer says. Its easy to overhype AI because most people dont have the right metaphors to understand it yet, and that stops people from being appropriately skeptical. Theres no AI that works like the human brain, he says. To counter the hype, I hope we can stop talking about brains and start talking about whats actually going on its mostly statistics, databases, and pattern recognition. Which shouldnt make it any less interesting. Attichitcuk Wookieepedia FANDOM powered by Wikia. AttichitcukIm old enough to remember the forest fire and the wroshyr trees screaming in pain.

When the Confederacy of Independent Systems invaded Kashyyyk toward the end of the three year conflict, Attichitcuk engaged in combat along his fellow warriors and the Republic forces led by the Jedi Master Yoda. That event, known to future generations as the Battle of Kashyyyk, was one of the last conflicts fought during the Clone Wars. The Republic fell apart shortly afterwards and was replaced by the Galactic Empire, an autocratic regime led with an iron fist by Emperor. Palpatine.

In his youth, Attichitcuk became noticed for the audacious hunting raids he made at the very bottom of the dangerous wroshyr tree forests. On Kashyyyk, warriors were expected to take part in such expeditions to protect the civilians from the predators roaming below the treehouses. As a consequence, skilled hunters like Attichitcuk were held in high regard in the Wookiee culture. Once, he slaughtered a pack of twenty ferocious katarns with only a ryyk blade, collecting their claws after killing them.

To ensure the two youngsters would find their way to the camp, the older Wookiee left markers on the way.
