As some of you may know, with the help of many very talented and kind people, I alone with others have been building out a teeny tiny SaaS platform apiobuild.com in the past several months - A low code platform enabling everyone to create automation software at ease. We started the project as pandemic hit, people were getting creative with their career (out of necessity or exploration), we saw a healthy demand where people really needs some form of very niche software yet have no clue how to get started.
Almost in every AI or Machine Learning conferences I’ve been to lately, there’s a track dedicating to biases or “injustices” in algorithmic decisions. Books have been published (Automating Inequality: How High-Tech Tools Profile, Police, and Punish the Poor, Algorithms of Oppression: How Search Engines Reinforce Racism etc.) and fear has been spread (Elon Musk says AI development should be better regulated, even at Tesla ). The fear of unknown is, perhaps, more persuasive than a realistic survey of the state of AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) development.
