Who are the SJWs here? Other people with PhDs that have different opinions from you? Did they ruin your research? Did they make OpenAI stop what they're doing?
Are you sure it's not your sense of reality that's distorted?
Yes, you can point out that perhaps a data set is missing some black faces, but that should be a minor bug entry in the bug tracker, not a million dollar industry getting people PhDs.
And "those people" are not stopping at providing better data sets, they want to introduce their own political bias into the system, literally creating a distorted view of the world. As I said, this is serious stuff, if you assume most people will perceive the world via Google searches.
Maybe the issue here is "known problems" - this is not about "known problems", it is about a specific ideology that makes them believe they "know" what causes certain problems. As a simplified example, they want to make the AI "not see color" and think that will make the problems go away. Forcing the AI (and in turn the people who use it) to not see color is totalitarian control and wrong.
Decision making is an issue, but that needs to be addressed at the human level, not in the tools that are being used to perceive the world.
If you AI discovers that women historically have been worse hires for your company (or people doing the hiring thought they were worse), the correct response is not to introduce some artificial bias in the ML to ignore gender or inflate the scores for women. It is to try to figure out what has been going on, and to make up your mind what you actually want.
I promise you that is the exact opposite of what they want.
I searched for "men can". Eventually, on the fourth page of results I found an article from healthline[1] about periodic hormonal changes in men that does appear to have similar effects to the female period.
This doesn't appear to be any form of bias or correction of bias or anything other than a highly SEOed and indexed page the is shown in response to a very vague query that matches the title of this page.
In my book, this AI diversity nonsense is not even AI research. The SJWs pretend they discovered the concept of bias, when it has always been a core part of Machine Learning from the beginning.
Even more concerning, it is an attempt to permanently encode their distorted sense of reality in AI models that affect billions of people. This needs to be fought, not celebrated.
