# life: unaware racisms

<< racism is about action in everyday life, not just words or hashtags at a time of uprising. We can be careful about what we say – language is conscious and controllable. But it is perfectly possible to hold deep-seated racist views, sometimes subconsciously, and simultaneously announce you are definitely not racist. >>

# life: apropos of widespread racism, three in four people (probably even more than three) hold unconscious negative view of world: study

<< Most Australians tested for unconscious bias hold a negative view of Indigenous Australians which can lead to widespread racism, new analysis from The Australian National University (ANU) shows. >>

<< The ANU researchers say 75 per cent of Australians tested using the Implicit Association Test by a joint initiative of universities including Harvard, Yale and the University of Sydney hold a negative implicit or unconscious bias against Indigenous Australians. >>

# ai: apropos of black box approach in machine learning algorithms

<< A black box is a machine learning program that does not explain how it reaches its conclusions, either because it is too complicated for a human to understand or because its inner workings are proprietary. In response to concerns that these types of models may include unjust inner workings—such as racism—another growing trend is to create additional models to "explain" these black boxes. >>

<<  Even when so-called explanation models are created, (..) decision-makers should be opting for interpretable models, which are completely transparent and easily understood by its users. >>
