That Google or Facebook are able to influence
the result, for example, of a political election
or any other human activity,
personal or business
it is a fact that also understands a four year old boy,
it is not that it serves a nobel prize.
But if you are of those who say: “no, show me the evidence”!
All right, I will show you the evidence!
Robert Epstein did this studio some time ago
The Search Engine Manipulation Effect
where in practice they show that Google can influence
up to 20% undecided,
when there is an election.
And it does it naturally, algorithms do it.
It is not that in bad faith they put themselves there
Page, Brin or Erik Schmid to manipulate the algorithm.
It is simply the way I show you
information and what information
that influences your opinion.
Let’s take an example: if in a future election you will look for Salvini
and you are for example an undecided,
what shows the page, the associated images,
the associated news, the titles, the order of the organic results,
will influence the opinion you make of that political figure.
This applies to Google, applies to Facebook,
that’s true for Twitter, we’re in the hands of friendly algorithms!
But let’s take an example that goes beyond:
an algorithm decides and will decide if you live or if you die.
A couple of months ago came out this catchphrase,
on the atrocious dilemma, the moral of the cars judged by themselves.
The example works like this:
you are driving your beautiful car that drives itself,
so you’re not driving,
you’re probably purring or reading the paper.
Your car that drives itself, which for convenience
we’ll call Candy Candy,
he finds himself before a certain point in a situation
in which you must choose: if you do not make an accident, make an accident
and you die, if you turn right there is an old man
on motorcycles and kills the old man on a motorcycle.
If you turn left, there is a school group
and kills the whole school.
What will Candy Candy do in that situation?
The truth is that you already know what your car does first
that you drive alone in that situation
because someone will have written the algorithm that
determines what to do in those cases.
If the algorithm says: in case of an accident
if there is a schoolgirl do everything but go against the school
or you crack or crack the old man!
If it were written in the algorithm: kill as few people as possible,
if you are alone in the car, on the bike there are two,
here is the school,
I’m sorry but I’m around the one to crack is you!
And think about it for a moment: who is writing the algorithm
for example, of the car that drives itself
what to do in the event of an accident? Does Tesla write it?
Volkswagen?
There must be some government guidelines
that tell you: look it works like this.
Donald Trump will decide the algorithm of the car that drives itself ?!
“How many Muslims are there on the right” ?!
“Ok, in case of a straight accident there”!
It’s disturbing, is not it ?!
Who decides the algorithms?
Also because one thinks that the algorithms are neutral,
totally neutral, but it’s not like that!
Google, Facebook, have a tide of pressure from the outside,
governments, requests of all kinds.
And the results you see, it’s not that they are neat and clean, of course.
They are retouched here and there, manually when needed.
Make the caricature of Michelle Obama, like a chimp,
Ooohp, I’ll make the image disappear
because he is not well.
For better or for worse.
Does Donald Trump intervene against Muslims?
Mark Zuckerberg rightly says:
“we in Facebook do not agree”
“and we welcome Muslim workers”.
But if Donald Trump is a punticino next year
from the elections and Facebook can decide in your feed
what to give a little more weight,
they will decide to give a little help
maybe in Ilary on the other side?
In any case, will we ever come to know us?
And all this, as you understand, is not just for politics,
It is valid in any sector,
based on the information I present to you,
based on how I present them every day,
you form your vision of the world.
Seriously, a serious debate is needed,
of all the protagonists involved and it is very urgent!
It is not so much a technological debate,
there is no fear of technology
or artificial intelligence,
there is to be afraid of human intelligence
and we need to carry an ethic in the algorithms.
Create algorithms with a conscience,
but what conscience?
Or the human being really understands
how to check the algorithms,
or are the algorithms that will control us.
When in doubt I buy the car that drives itself.
The algorithm in case of an emergency, I’ll write it to him!
Turn right! Not on the left, on the right!
