Alex Pentland on Data - Dictionary of Arguments
Brockman I 199 Data/cybernetics/ecosystem/decision-making processes/Pentland: When you can get (…) feedback quantitatively - which is difficult, because most things aren’t measured quantitatively - both the productivity and the innovation rate within the organization can be significantly improved. A next step is to try to do the same thing but at scale, something I refer to as building a trust network for data. It can be thought of as a distributed system like the Internet, but with the ability to quantitatively measure and communicate the qualities of human society (…) Brockman I 203 If we have the data that go into and out of each decision, we can easily ask, Is this a fair algorithm? Is this AI doing things that we as humans believe are ethical? This human in-the-loop approach is called “open algorithms”; you get to see what the Als take as input and what they decide using that input. If you see those two things, you’ll know whether they’re doing the right thing or the wrong thing. It turns out that’s not hard to do. If you control the data, then you control the AI. >Algorithms, >Artificial intelligence. Pentland, A. “The Human strategy” in: Brockman, John (ed.) 2019. Twenty-Five Ways of Looking at AI.
