It appears to me like we are going to feed and develop AI with a lot of biases.

Unfortunately true Europe is lagging behind and I don't see it changing very soon.

He's totally right that these are more than computer science issues. 11:00 But sociologists, no! Those are the last people you want involved "in the conversation". They have no grounding at all (it's not even a science). Maybe some philosophers, if you can find any good ones, but they are very, very rare. Modern Western philosophy went off the rails years ago. And most academics from the current tainted system would be worse than helpful in giving one the perspectives need to evolve a free and democratic system. It's good he's paying attention to writers -e.g., head of Oxford Internet research ... but big innovators come from outside the system, like those that started Apple and MS were college dropouts for example...

Three years of bad zoom calls has left me intolerant of cheap mics and videocams. Your insulting your audience.
