Training machines sans bias will only augment humans: AWS executive

At a time when the debate over machines replacing humans rages, a top Amazon Web Services (AWS) executive is convinced that machines are not here to take decisions on their own, and certain human emotions -- empathy, for instance -- cannot be automated. Last year, Facebook Artificial Intelligence Researchers (FAIR) had to shut down one of its Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems after chatbots started speaking in their own language, defying the codes provided. There have been other instances too where anomalies in the AI models were noticed. However, according to Olivier Klein, Head of Emerging Technologies, Asia-Pacific, at AWS, which is retail giant Amazon's Cloud arm, a Machine Learning (ML) model will always operate the way you've trained it.
