Im Only Human

I’m Only Human and So Is My Data

---

How can we make sure that the digital dimension we all contribute to is an authentic representation of reality? This is also a question that people working on AI are asking themselves. The big worry here is that the data we are going to use to train AI systems is going to have biases that will end up producing only one type of reality.

Microsoft has just had to fix its face recognition API which was showing an error rate for dark-skinned females of If we use a particular data set to train an AI system that is helping humans make decisions and that data is biased, the decisions resulting from this process are not going to be based on reality. A particular text might have been used to train the AI, one that propagates biases against female candidates by mentioning only men in the context of jobs like engineers or plant managers.

It seems to me that the more mankind ventures into the realm of technology, they more we are faced with the fragility and complexity of the human experience. This site uses Akismet to reduce spam.

Silvia 27 November, I never saw anything like it during my four years. Your peers ought to respect you for speaking your mind, even if they disagree with you.

Not at all offensive?

She characterizes the largely western-created refugee crisis in the Middle-East as an Islamic crusade against Christians. She even puts refugees in quotation marks like are you kidding me. She listed the Islamic crusade against Christians and the refugee crisis as two separate world events. This reminds me of someone who said that white people also have a painful history of being oppressed by black people…and then proceeded to point out post-apartheid South Africa. That person got water thrown in their face. I just have a hard time processing the lack of research or insight you have on current world affairs, let alone your attempt to humanize ignorance.

Katrina, I really think that you have missed the whole point. Firstly, the discussions on campus surrounding race and cultural appropriation are not forcing you to do anything.

You are being presented with information — X, Y, Z are things that offend these groups of people — it is now your choice to decide whether you would like to continue to do those things and offend those people, or to stop. You are not in the position to dictate what emotions people should feel in reaction to things, you only have agency over your own actions. Furthermore, your references to other events going on in the world are completely irrelevant. Yes, there are atrocities happening every days across the world, but what on earth has that got to do with this?

Does that mean we cannot talk about other issues that are felt widely across our campus? Issues that affect the daily lives of many students here at midd? By attempting to rank these issues you are trying to discredit them, which is unfair and unproductive. Your last sentiment about all issues of diversity being skin deep; yes, biologically there is little that differentiates us and it would be great if we would all look beyond our physical differences. How can we move into an equal society by never talking about racism????

I’m Only Human

How can people change their behaviour if it can never be called out??? We have to talk about it, we have to be challenged, we have to have our racist behaviour pointed out to us so that we can change it!!! White students at Middlebury, myself included, need to continue to talk about these issues and have our actions called out if we want to slowly start chipping away at the racism that has unfortunately been deeply engrained in us from day 1. I think articles like this are important. To your credit, Ms.

It is hard to be so frustrated and feel shut down when you ultimately have good intentions. The overarching problem with this piece is the tone: Private schools; now Middlebury.

Like you, I am one of the most privileged people on the planet, because anytime I want, I can go sit and read in the Axinn library, which is a nicer building than most people will see in their lifetimes. That is acknowledging your privilege. Accepting privilege is the next step, because with our privilege comes the power to do something about it.

The richer you are the more you can afford to give, kind of thing. You have a power to help people feel as comfortable in their skin as you do in yours. But this article is important because the most pressing thing we can do is generate compassion for all different viewpoints and starting points.

If you vehemently disagree with Ms. Drury, please try to find some genuine compassion for her viewpoint. Yet, we get to choose how to treat people. Thanks for a compassionate, thoughtful answer. I was taken aback by the apparent hatred in many of these reactions.

Before anyone else makes this joke … This article was more harmful to Black people than anything else named Katrina. You are very welcome for my vital contribution to this discussion.

Rather the author of the article is. Sorry for the confusion. Have a good one. Have you tried Diet Racism? Thank you for expressing your opinion. You are free to have your opinion. But I hope you realize this: Calling out microaggressions which by the way, when ignored, often become or allow for the full-blown aggressions you speak of , calling out ignorance and bias and hate, is how serious conversations about race and gender are finally being generated in this country. I hope that you watch it. I also have another hope for you. You are at the beginning of your journey at Middlebury.

You will meet great people — peers, professors, staff — from many different backgrounds. Fellow students, your teachers, your support staff are of diverse races, ethnicities, religions, sexual orientations, gender identities, abilities. I implore you to listen, with empathy, to the perspectives of those you meet who are different from you — not to demand others to teach you the facts of diversity, not to require instruction. Just to listen with open ears and an open heart; to connect with compassion.

You can do some reading up on your own, too, to consider some of the important issues connected to identity, diversity, privilege, and community. The fact of the matter is that our differences are important. We can absolutely love each other for our shared humanity, as you say. We should do that! But we also must acknowledge the facts of history and the role of oppressive institutions, and how these combined have had deep and lasting consequences for our diverse human journeys. You are a brainwashed idiot passing around the propaganda that indoctrinated you into a divisive angry creature.

You might want to watch this point of view also https: How could you understand that though? This is a clear example of how, for privileged identities is ok to mistreat, discriminate, and marginalized other, but god forbid they are told to check themselves. I sincerely hope you are critical enough though to check yourself and take the time to educate yourself about issues surrounding power and privilege and come out a better person than you are today.

With all the previous responses, there is no need to reiterate the fallacies in this article. Give her time, education and enlightened peers. College is for learning and growing. It was patronizing and condescending. Can you please provide a few examples of things you were told not to say or not to do? And an explanation of how these things should not be perceived as being offensive.

I am just having a hard time understanding your situation. I hope your time at Midd allows you to grow and develop a more informed opinion on this topic, even if you end up still thinking PC culture is overkill.

I'm Only Human

This person does not agree with my views on how racism should be fought, and therefore she is a racist. As a white person and thus a minority in the world I want to publicly voice how uncomfortable it makes me feel for all these other cultures to appropriate my culture. Hey Katrina, I liked what you wrote and I hope you keep writing and find yourself growing and learning as you move along life. Oppression is where I grew up and we ran away from, the Middle East. Sadly their voices are heard now but in echo chambers, yours with it rational will last longer and most logical people will see that.

Not those that live in their echo chamber of feeling good and virtue by labeling everything as hate while propping themselves up as moral. Racism in its purest form.. Actually no , watch it make your own decision but I hope you see the racism spouted by her and that dogma. I saw this post linked over on Tumblrinaction on Reddit, and reading this, you sound like a very clever young woman.

Groups like Black Lives Matter are bullies and full of prejudice people that set back equality by singling themselves out. Just keep to your beliefs even if people give you a hard time. Keep up the good work. A piece of advice: They will never be satisfied with anything short of the ruination of your reputation. Hang in there Katrina. I want to thank you for letting us hear your story. Thank you for saying what you really mean to say. It is only through such difficult dialogue that understanding may ever begin.

So thank you again for being yourself. I totally agree with you, political correctness means nothing. Back home I was never a good player in that rope tightening game — straighten your back, hold on to your balancing beam and keep yourself on the thin black line. Watch your mouth because Big Brother is watching.

I hated that and I still do now. My home country has taught me not to put my faith in political correctness. It is a world where the meanings of words are lost. People can say anything. This complicated-ness, this barrier, these shackles and mantles are what we bear and navigate through every day of our life.

Even better, they have been there before I was born. How life is indeed complicated enough! I used to wish I could forget about all these as well. These are things that are part of me and define who I am.
