Introduction to Machine Learning
Bias in Data: If the data used to train a machine learning system is biased, the system will replicate and amplify those biases, leading to discriminatory or unfair outcomes. For example, if a facial recognition system is trained on a dataset that is predominantly white, it may not accurately recognize people of other races. This could have serious consequences in areas such as law enforcement, where the system may be used to identify suspects.
Job Loss: AI systems automate tasks that were previously done by humans. While this can lead to increased efficiency and productivity, it can also have negative consequences for those whose jobs are replaced. It is important to consider how to support workers who are displaced by automation.
Privacy: With the amount of data being collected and analyzed, there is a risk that individuals' personal information could be compromised. It is important to consider how to protect individuals' privacy while still allowing for the benefits of machine learning to be realized.
Societal Implications: As machine learning becomes more prevalent, it is important to consider how it may impact issues such as income inequality, access to education and healthcare, and the distribution of power in society.
