This artist's several sentence summary of an ANN and relating it to prejudice is fascinating: "The output of an artificial neural network can be roughly defined as a conclusion obtained by generalising a limited set of observations. Surprisingly prejudice can be defined in the same way. This will always be a problem with systems that generalize information. No matter how large and representative a dataset might be there will always be an eccentric outlier that will break the system." On the one hand this succinctly sums up the challenges we face with AI systems becoming more and more ubiquitous and on the other hand the reality we non-artifical intellegent humans face in living our lives and dealing with day to day encounters.
