An issue that has appeared in north america is within the job searching community, most sites that employers are using to filter candidates are using a form of the Myers/Briggs personality test. The issue is that these companies that run the sites are automatically disqualifying any personality that scores strongly towards the INTJ or INTF end of the spectrum. It has been proposed that these sites are using the algorithms in an unfair way and stopping a perfectly qualified persons resume from ever reaching the employer it was meant for. Moreover most companies now won't even accept a resume dropped of in person or emailed to them and send you to one of these sites that require you to answer 100 questions(usually 4-6 questions just rephrased slightly differently) and use these to create a profile of you, now I know from personal experience that time of day, recent life events or even whether you have eaten well or feel hungry can affect the outcome form these tests. I feel that the use of algorithms can be very destructive when the companies using them don't question what they output or even double check that is doing what it is supposed to be doing properly.
i guess the issue isn't as much whether algs really work, as people being more or more driven to follow patterns by the increasing prevalance of algs/"smart" technologies in our daily lives.
important point, still the big hoops of "decisive-worthy" data have to be actively collected and filtered by something, and there are extreme amounts of sources not just by wire and (hi)tech. Who or what can make the rules? In Norway they used to scan living areas by car for so called ilegal TV`s, since the only channel (the state), wanted an extra income, most pay still today... but alternately you kan use pc and sutch legaly, still. And possibility for having to pay "tax" for a pc or even phone is very real.
I like that Google and youtube offers me relevant stuff but sometimes i hate that I am locked out of a lot of content because the algorithms decided that it is not for me, but they cannot know because I never saw it.
I'm sceptical about his position about effectiveness of algorithms over the next decade or so .. the fact that we are being monitored to test algorithms on the go, daily will have some impact over time ...
If the concept behind democratic or consumer choices is the constructive possibilities of a general high quality education system, and the "real world" is dominated by the "hands-off" displacement of responsibility of controlling algorithms, then the context of in-between complexity, without direct personal responsibility, is the dangerous part.(?) Q@45:00 at the pointy end of the nail.
Overall not very convincing! The lady in red apprehensibly jumped right in to the most important question on whether these big datasets could be understood to accurately target individuals through marketing attempts. The author responded hesitantly not close at the current and even went to consolidate his stand by using an example of not being able to emulate a nematode. Frankly, that was irrelevant since clearly there are more information on us, humans, through social media than a freaking microscopic worm. But the most climatic moment to note here, at 19:25, where the gentleman in the audience, observantly reminded, only part of the personality spectrum is unreliant. Those who are vulnerable to openness are likely the real targets. The algorithms may not be working 100% but with even 30& or more, it is still effective to rope people into insensible, immoral act of manipulation .This would obviously help make unconscious biased decisions to promote self serving agendas of some corporations to politicize regulations so to continue this information gold mine exploitation. Of course, I do understand that this is a great opportunity for people who have a computer science or mathematics as their occupational livelihood.. Good luck! I could roll in on his reaction of the next question that follow but it is there, Be my quest. Nice one!
I have question, are there any algorithms or AI in the making that will distinguish serious comments from irony/sarcasm? Because sometimes it is really hard to tell if someone ismaking a clever satire or if they really mean it.
i doubt it, unless of course it had a big history of your previous comments AND the programming to say those previous comments were in fact irony or humour. Then theres the same questions over what constitues humour

One of the most discredited tests in the entire field of profiling.

We should start by giving those algorithm`s in question describing names, how about (Miss?)Antropalgorithmisme

I can make an algorithm that looks for "/s". Does that count? ;)
