"systems should be used and designed in an equitable way" - the woke ideology has sneaked even here.
So the word “equitable” is is unacceptable? What would be acceptable here? Genuine question.
The #1 danger with AI is it's an absolute survellieance machine, so the principles should revolve around that: freedom, rights and privacy, to kneecap that surveillance machine in advance. WH could start by reminding us the three inalienable rights this country was founded upon are life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, and derive the AI framework from there. Instead it revolves around "equity" as if it's some waffly corporate pamphlet written by a sleepy woke manager in a 3rd tier firm.
Equality is preferred to equity. The former means a fair playing field, the latter means a field that is unfairly adjusted to ensure the same outcome despite decisions after an equal initial condition.
