[QUOTE="Snarf Zagyg, post: 9090518, member: 7023840"] Actually, that is an incredibly surprising result, despite your post hoc rationalization. Look, if the AI had centered on, say, "Ivy league degrees," we might say that this is unfair, but understandable. But if you went back to the people who actually made the decisions that the data set was based on, and told them- "Hey, I know you think you're being fair. But do you know what the two most important factors are? Whether the applicant is named Jared, and whether they were a Lax Brah ...." I think that they would probably be more than a little surprised. Again, this isn't even college lacrosse ... these are people that listed [I]high school lacrosse on their resumes[/I]. In other words, it did uncover something rather surprising. Which should lead to some self-reflection. Whether you think it should lead to self-reflection or not ... well, I can't control what you choose to do, right? :) [/QUOTE]
