Giving Algorithms a Sense of Uncertainty Could Make Them More Ethical


The ethical impact of Machine Learning has been hotly debated—from bias in training data to trolly problem dilemmas for self-driving cars. Can an algorithm trained to optimize a singular objective be designed to consider multiple (potentially mutually inconsistent) objectives? Perhaps data sampling of comparative choices and complex loss functions are the key.
