The problem isn’t that deep learning is picking up biases of the researchers, it’s that it picks up biases from the training data.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>The auction that set off the race for AI supremacy</title><url>https://www.wired.com/story/secret-auction-race-ai-supremacy-google-microsoft-baidu/</url></story>

By the new millennium, most researchers had given up on the idea, convinced it was a technological dead end and bewildered by the 50- year- old conceit that these mathematical systems somehow mimicked the human brain.&amp;quot;&lt;p&gt;This is not only false, but in the context actually intentional misrepresentation. Most of the issues with the model was solved by introduction of hidden layers and backpropagation learning, which is at least in my opinion required knowledge in CS since at least early 90&amp;#x27;s and probably earlier (it is not clear when the idea was formulated in usable form, put the most cited publications are from late 80&amp;#x27;s, eg. Rumelhart, D., Hinton, G. &amp;amp; Williams, R. Learning representations by back-propagating errors.
