that's what implicit bias is. thoughts and feelings about social groups that can influence decision-making and actions even when we are not aware of it. that's the definition which is different from people that are burning crossing, evil people or bad people, so we are talking about everyday people despite their intentions and despite their motivations may actually exhibit bias and allow that bias to actually affect decisions they make. >> you're saying implicit bias, it can affect all races, all people regardless of their socioeconomic status or necessarily who they are whereas racism is more kind of deliberate-learned behavior. >> yes. it's learned, it's conscious, yeah. a lot of people talk about that, old-fashion racism. implicit bias is something that you may not even know you have, something that you don't know is affecting how we are thinking even and even if we know what the stereotypes are about social groups, you don't always know that stereotypes are influencing how we are evaluating someone. >> you men

and allow that bias to actually affect the decisions they make. >> so you are saying implicit bias is not -- it can affect all races, all people, regardless of their socioeconomic status or necessarily who they are. whereas racism is more kind of deliberate learned behavior. >> yes. it's deliberate. it is learned. it is conscious. yeah, i mean, a lot of people talk about that as old fashioned racism, but implicit bias is that something that you may not even know that you have, something that you don't know is affecting how you are thinking even. even if you know what the stereotypes are about various social groups, we don't always know those stereotypes are influencing what we are doing, how we are treating someone, how we're evaluating someone. >> you mentioned what you refer to in the book as the toxic association. it was just kind of fascinating to me how you talked about how that influences what a person -- how they see things, how they experience things, how they by experience people. but you also mentioned that our brains are wired to categorize people and things. could you talk

and then if you can explain what you mean by implicit bias and how does implicit bias differ from what we all know in many instances having experienced plano racism. >> i am a professor at stanford university and i study race, inequality, i've done a lot of work on racial bias in particular, a lot in the criminal justice base also in education, the workplace, in a neighborhood that how they influence people who think about housing and evaluate. it is something that you see everywhere. there is no real period of life, we cannot get under our skin to influence how we think and how we make decisions in how we act. that is what the book is about, trying to travel across all these to understand how people grumble, you asked about -- i guess we can start there,. >> is not necessarily the product of racism. not necessarily. to some extent it's a product of our brains are wired and so were wired to categories were to stereotype the were wired to have believes about social groups taking activated even without our awareness. that is really what implicit bias is, as her thoughts and feelings abou

>> i study race and racial bias in particular. he lost in the criminal justice space but also in education, the workplace, and i've done work looking at how the race influences how people think about housing and how they evaluate homes and yes it is something that you see everywhere. there is no sort of real area of life that can't get under and start to influence how we think and make decisions and how we act, so that's what the book is about trying to kind of follow that across all the different spaces to try to understand how people grapple with race and they asked about the definition so i guess we can start their. >> it's not necessarily the product of racism. it is a product of how the brains are wired to categorize and have beliefs about the groups that can get activated even without an awareness and that's what the implicit bias is about the social groups that can implement the decision-making and action even when we are not aware of it, so that is the definition. which is different from people who are burning crosses or e

every hit is reviewed by an internal affairs investigator and if it is a hit of bias or perceived bias, it's launched into a full-fledged investigation. this has been running since december of 2016. so the first quarter results from january 1st to march 31st for clets were 62 hits from the program. after review by iad, no -- none of them were determined to be bias oriented. next, the department e-mail. all e-mails sent and received internally and externally are audited using a word list. it's passive meaning it's always running and sends the alerts to the ia egg havers investigators. if it contains a word, it will be investigated. those are saved and maintained on the city's server. the staff analyzes, again, every hit to determine whether or not it's potentially bias, and they would be investigated if that determination takes place. the first quarter for department e-mail from january 1 to march 31st were 256 hits returned from the program. after review by iad members, none of the hits were determined to be bias oriented. lastly, our text messaging, which is run every 30 days because

>> well, you mean political bias? >> yes. whether there is political bias that is resulting in biased conduct by fbi agents. >> i haven't seen any of that since i have been there. i think chris wray, the new director, has changed out the people who were there before and brought in -- not brought in from outside, but promoted and developed new leadership team that i think is doing a great job. i think he's focused on ensuring that the bureau isn't biased and that any of the problems from before are addressed. >> do you believe that it's inappropriate conduct for an fbi employee to leak politically sensitive information to the public for purposes of impacting political discussion? >> yes. yes. and i think some leaks, some leaks are maybe for political purposes. i think probably more leaks are because people handling a case don't like what their superiors or supervisors are doing and they leak it in order to control people up the chain. >> i understand you have some investigations into that type of conduct under way? >> yes. >>

intelligence community gone deep state is there a political bias within the cia and the national security agency at the pentagon insiders speak out but first venezuela at the boiling point after a failed coup attempt this past week what next there and a troubling trend here in the usa spring is suicides i'm holland cook in washington this is the big picture on our t.v. america. as opposition protesters took to the streets this week and venezuela's self-proclaimed interim president won cleared there's no turning back. u.s. secretary of state might pompei oh calls american military intervention there possible russia's foreign minister calls washington's interference a gross violation of international law warning that the continuation of aggressive steps is fraught with the most serious consequences only the venezuelan people have the right to determine their destiny as the united nations urges all parties to exercise maximum restraint venezuelan military leaders remain loyal to elected president nicolas maduro is that support he too much duro maintaining control let's ask dr glass a loop a

one of the things i thought was fascinating, artificial intelligence has a bias? is that possible how could it be rigged -- how could it have a bias >> jim, it's artificial, which means it's based on our intelligence and it's based on the data that you feed it. >> okay. >> so if you take five years of data that is -- that has a bias in it, so let's take the example of, in the lending environment, let's say someone has had a bias in lending, you take all that data, you feed it in, the machine continues to do what you were doing so that bias continues. >> so you catch the bias >> no, so, you need to understand what are the biases that could be there in the past data and then you say, i want to remove that bias so, you have to then introduce rules over and above existing data to actually change the bias if you allow regular a.i. to work on old data, you'll get the new is equal to the old. >> i find that fascinating because we all kind of presume that a.i. cleans up everything you do some great stuff for mondelez they reported a very good quarter this week. it's also

and he indicated in a hearing in this room before us that he did, in fact, find there was fbi -- bias at the fbi. and that -- but he said that he wasn't able to prove that the bias affected the employees' work product because in questions that i asked him, he said i found that there was clearly bias, but in order to prove whether that affected the work output of those who were bias, i had to ask them whether it impacted and they of course said no. and i didn't have other evidence to prove otherwise. this is getting back to a conversation you had earlier about whether the fbi's business or whether his business was to prove a negative or whether it was to find some actionable conduct. my reason in going through this with you is that i want to get at what we can do -- well first of all whether you agree that there is a problem of bias in the fbi in some parts or some individuals at the fbi and whether you are undertaking activities to address that. >> well, i -- you mean political bias? >> yes. whether there is political bias, that is resulting in biased conduct by fbi agents -- >> i hav

so then that's the reason, you know, the bias getting problem. actually, we have the problem already. and that's it for the short cut of click, here at ai: more than human, at the barbican centre, in london. this is alter 3 and it's in no way freaking me out. don't forget the full—length version is available to watch right now on iplayer and you can get in touch with us any time you fancy. we're live on instagram, youtube, facebook and twitter. thanks for watching. and i'm just going to step a little bit further away now. bye. hello there. we have another day of downpour dodging on our hands. some pretty hefty showers around. it was a grey start as well, this is how it looked for a weather watcher close to dundee earlier on. but for most places the skies have been brightening. we are seeing some sunny spells. with that though, that chance for some heavy and perhaps thundery downpours. low pressure just about in charge of the scene at the moment. that's what's allowing the showers to bubble up. it will be quite hit and miss, some places will get a

so then that's the reason, you know, the bias getting problem.for the short cut of click. this is in no way freaking me out. the full length version is available on abc iview. i will step a little 00:14:36,074 --> 2147483051:44:03,562 bit further away. thanks for 2147483051:44:03,562 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 watching. hello and welcome to newswatch with me, samira ahmend. was andrew marr out to get nigel farage with him last sunday. and do his brexit a party and the other part competing next week in elections for the european parliament receive a fair and proportionate airtime on the bbc?

putting forth implicit bias training is not a partisan issue. as a matter of fact, we had republicans who voted for the amendment, nine of them. so when we're talking about the lives of our children, when we're talking about the safety of our children, it should have never been a partisan issue, and it was totally disheartening to see that my republican colleagues took this as a party-line issue when in actuality, it should have been a humanity issue, it should have been a safety issue for our children. >> it's a really interesting debate. several school districts actually use law enforcement personnel, which is more costly. are there any alternative plans on the table that you know of? >> that i know of, there are no alternative plans on the table. but i will say this, that when we are looking at school safety, putting guns in the hands of teachers, teachers did not sign up for that. teachers signed up to teach children. they did not sign up to be police officers. i believe that it is important that our school districts work along with our sher

if you can't see something confirmation bias can't kick in so we're in a world right now in which. our opinions beliefs attitudes voting preferences purchases are all being pushed one way or another every single day by forces that we cannot see. the real problem of manipulation of news and information is secret it's what google and facebook are doing on a regular basis by suppressing stories by steering us towards other stories rather than the stories we're actually seeking and that's the real manipulation that's going on shaken news is the shiny object they want us to shea says that really isn't relevant to the problems we're facing today we use google so extensively the average person does you know multiple queries for a day and some more than others and over time you don't realize that it's impacting you and we already know that people are not necessarily fact checking on their ad and they they rely on a media company say rely on mainstream media that rely on companies like google to give them answers about the world without necessarily looking at is that true facebook has becom

so then that's the reason, you know, the bias getting problem.l intelligence is under the spotlight here. taking part in the exhibition is world—renowned ai expert francesca rossi. she is part of the's european commission's crack team of ai experts working on establishing ai ethics guidelines. the problem is on trust. how do we build trust in the technology itself? so what are the property that are needed of the technology regarding bias, explainability and so on? and also trust in those that produce the technology. for example, by assuring that they have some level of transparency in how they build the technology. so if you build the various dimensions of trust, we think that this is the right approach to really get these concerns under control and this will put us in the best position also to address possibly new concerns that will come with more advanced and future versions of ai. ok, let's move on now. the way that we watch football has changed dramatically in the last few years. we can now watch from more angles and on more devices than ever

has stepped up to say that the media's coverage of the 2020 race is the latest in sexism and gender bias now it's important to note that hillary clinton made similar arguments back in 2016 i haven't been shouting but sometimes when a woman speaks out some people think it's shouting i democrats have been quibbling about the importance of women and minorities to counter trends so-called white identity trump has perfected white identity politics the republican party is increasingly a white identity politics party in today's america why come up with complex policy proposals when you can simply run on the basis of what you were born as and why defend yourself with logical arguments when you can simply decry your opponent as being a bigot in today's america it seems that identity politics is a new reality as the country shapes up for the next election although i didn't see policies come from the left because that's what they've been hinge in their campaigns over the past few years they're creating division all to try and get certain people who believe this ng way they do last summer 2016 there

there's no bias out there.rk times" best sellers never have any books by conservatives either. i know they're bias but when i go for search i go to google. it's a habit. they've been about to s supplant everyone else. good for them. david: you say good for them. again, i'm libertarian on most matters but when they come out and say hey look, it is a monopoly, if not by definition in fact it has become a monopoly base and it can't be treated like the "the new york times" or any other bias news source. >> i wish they would do better. look, you can put up very bad turns and the president comes up all of the time. so there e there's definitely wn algorithm is there to make certain people look good, others look bad. you have to know what you're looking at. >> i wish christina would stop with the ma lo monopoly. if you don't like facebook, don't use it. >> i know. david: that does it for "bulls & bears." we'll see you next time. ♪ liz: president trump announcing that yes he'll meet with chinese president xi at the sum

i think people are genuinely biased against women i think by young women they're just bias and it's real and it exists but you have to overcome it's a female candidate amy clovers shar has been accused of being too harsh stories of her mistreating her former staff members and creating a harsh work environment and found their way into the press now her supporters say that is not a legit concern that sexism and a coalition of women's groups has stepped up to say that the media's coverage of the 2020 race is the latest in sexism and gender bias now it's important to note that hillary clinton made similar arguments back in 2016 i haven't been shouting but sometimes when a woman speaks out some people think it's shouting democrats have been quibbling about the importance of women and minorities to counter trends so-called white identity trump has perfected white i didn't the politics the republican party is increasingly a white identity politics party in today's america why come up with complex policy proposals when you can simply run on the basis of what you were born asked and why defe

if there is an inherent bias and how we use words, that will sharpen the results.oesn‘t lie. ai doesn‘t excuse. ai just reveals everything. so then that‘s the reason, you know, the bias problem. actually, we have the problem already. the judgement and ethics of artificial intelligence is under the spotlight here. taking pa rt under the spotlight here. taking part in the exhibition is worldwide ai expert francesca rossi. she is pa rt ai expert francesca rossi. she is part of the‘s new commission of crack team of ai experts working on establishing ai guidelines. the problem is on trust. how do we build trust in the technology itself. what are the property is needed of the technology regarding bias, explain ability and so on and also trust in those that produce the technology. for example, by assuring that they have some level of transparency in how they build the technology so if you build the various dimensions of trust, we think that this is the right approach to really get these concerns under control and this will put us in the best position also to address possi

but this bias is something that you may not even know have. something you don't know is affecting how you are thinking, even if you don't know the stereotypes, we don't always know those stereotypes are influencing what we are doing, how we treat someone or evaluate someone. >> watch this weekend on booktv on c-span2. >> for senate majority leader, house speaker john offer advice about how to proceed with trump administration investigations following the release of the mueller report. the two also talked about education and future of work. the university of nevada las vegas hosted the event. >> now for somebody in this room, you should already know. cochair of mgm resorts, public policy institute here. somebody i get to talk to later, have more things to say about him and i'll say save this for a little bit later. please welcome harry. [applause] [applause] there are certain things we say, words and phrases that are

could you explain the bias or flesh it out for me? i didn't quite. >> absolutely, so when i wrote this book, one of the things i wanted to do was the facts as neutrally as possible and not to make assertions about it but instead, teach, just to be your thing, make up your own mind because if you figure it out on your own, it'sprobably going to stick . this is mrs. harper, professor to do list, we want to make assertions and peer-reviewed requires assertions so there's a lack of assertions in the book and a lot of times i just get the material, i just get the abolitionists in theirown words . what that does is it exposes some of thebias they worked with . they put their lives on the line and often times their likelihood for anti-slavery. that is not a question. also occasionally use language suggested for example they would use the phrase poor creatures. to refer to the people that they were working with. or that happens a lot when talking about mary or they would sort of indulge the light series of as a concept like that they were sav

bias. now, horowitz did not find a bias in comey, at least not yet, but at the same time, there have been people, whether it's peter strzok or lisa page, other people within the fbi and that's what bill barr has been saying, he's saying he's also looking into it as well as horowitz. horowitz is a straight shooter so i think his report is going to be very interesting. eric: lindsey graham vowed to have hearings in the senate. let's listen to what the former fbi director said. he was on over at knx radio in los angeles. here he is talking about the accusations that the fbi had it out for the trump campaign by quote, spying on it. >> and the one that's the craziest is this notion that we were out to get donald trump. okay, well, let me ask a question, trump supporters. i knew and a very small number of people in the entire world knew before the election that we were conducting a counterintelligence investigation of individuals close to the trump campaign, and i told the fbi team it's really im

guest: i don't agree with what especially the, biochemistry as it relates to bias -- as it relates to the rest of it, i certainly understand and appreciate the caller's pessimism. i feel pessimistic like that on many days as well. on other days, i choose to feel hopeful. host: battle creek, michigan. democrat. about: i want to talk obstructionism. say the to me -- let's climate issue -- exxonmobil did their own study of climate change in the 1970's. they found that the science was correct, the scientists were correct that there was likely going to be climate change. they obstructed it and hid it. there's been obstruction from the scientific -- of the scientific communities from the oil companies ever since. george bush thought global warming was an issue. there's beenh era, far right obstructionism. unwillingness to compromise, certainly among republicans in the senate. obstructionism is a problem. so is unwillingness to copper mice. guest: that's another area of research we are pursuing. -- so is unwillingness to compromise. over the course of the past longer, we've seen a reduced wi

jennifer everheart offers her insights on implicit racial bias in her book "bias." >> a lot of people talk about that it's like old ' fashioned racism. but this implicit bias is something that you may not even know you have. something you don't know is effecting how you're thinking even -- and even if we know what the stereotypes are about various social groups we don't always know that those stereotypes are influencing what we're doing, how we're treating someone, how we're evaluating someone. >> watch this weekend on cspan 2 , book tv. sunday night on q and a, lincoln 's scholar herald holdser and best-selling author will share their perspectives on c-span's book the presidents. . . .

anything anyone writes comes with bias. if you look at national newspapers, any other outlets still trying to provide it isased accounts, impossible to get rid of all bias. host: karen buchanan on twitter pointing out the differences writing, "a distinction should be made for following local news, national, world or political news. too much politics is bad for digestion and mental health." julie, springfield, missouri, democrat. caller: i have noticed ever since fcc rules were changed, like in the late 1980's, when the fairness doctrine was done away with, then going forward to the 1990's when the telecommunications act was passed in 1996 and in 2003, another fcc rule was changed, where it enabled a lot of concentration and ownership. i have detected a lot of difference in the news in my neck of the woods in springfield. especially in the beginning of 2000, outlets were taken over by conservative media ownership. tone,notice a change in even though it did seem that what you were saying about the more opinionated news was al

>> yes, whether there is political bias resulting in biased conduct by fbi agents. >> i haven't seen that since i've been there. i think that chris wray, the new director, has changed out the people who were there before and brought in -- not brought in from outside but promoted and developed new leadership team that i think is doing a great job. and i think he is focused on ensuring that the bureau isn't biased. >> do you believe it's inappropriate conduct for an fbi employee to leak politically sensitive information to the public for purposes of impacting political discussion? >> yes. yes. and i think some leaks are maybe for political purposes. i think probably more leaks are because people handling a case don't like what their superiors or supervisors are doing and they leak it in order to control people up the chain. >> and i understand you have some investigations into that type of conduct? >> yes. >> just another couple of quick questions. when did the doj and the fbi, if you know, when did the doj and the fbi know that the democratic party paid for christopher steele's dossie

i think i understand the bias piece. i am intrigued by you saying understanding the information needed to get promoted. by my understanding, you have to do your job really well. does that mean perhaps there is, in more diverse populations, there is a lack of understanding in job descriptions and what success looks like? >> not at all. we have a competitive promotions process in the intelligence community desk committee. -- committee. it is based on a competitive .rocess, one employee review,competitive senior boards meet and they make decisions regarding competitiveness and readiness for performance at the next level. and certainly, when each candidate is reviewed, there are only a limited number of people who will have those opportunities for promotion. and many excellent, outstanding officers. not everyone can be promoted who is deserving of such promotion. as a person who may not have been promoted, you want to know why. and i think that is a fair question. how can i improve? >> people are indicating when they are not

incident so we can be certain and sure there's been a thorough investigation that is not informed by bias and so that
