hansenIs machine learning an action or a technique?
hansenMaybe something like problem instead of project OR supporting instead of solving?
hansenNot to mention: is this really a problem or are we just looking for a way to employ machine learning to say that we did?
hansenPerhaps a short footnote?
hansenQuestions like: is this problem large enough in scale to substitute machines for human labor given that machines will likely be less accurate?
altmanCan you find examples of success( or failure) from people using similar datasets with the same algorithm?
altmanCan you prepare your data with a reasonable amount of pre- processing?
altmanComment by Daniel Johnson: Am I parsing this right?
altmanEqually important, what would you expect to see if the model did n’t learn anything at all?
altmanIs it important that your algorithm be easy to explain?
altmanStart by asking: What would you expect to see if the model learned perfectly?
altman· Are the tools stable, well- documented, and well- supported?
altman· Are you concerned about speed and scale?
altman· Can you explain how this algorithm works to a lay person and why it ’s beneficial to the project?
altman· How do the tools align with the skill sets and comfort levels of your team?
altman· How well do tools interoperate with one another, or with other parts of your existing systems?
altman· What do the inputs and outputs of the algorithm mean?
altman· What effect do different hyperparameters have on the algorithm?
altman· What sorts of features and interfaces do they offer?

kimAI Applications for Libraries Do these ethical concerns outlined above apply to libraries?
kimBetween the two moral rules, “ do not kill a person ” and “ save lives, ” which one should trump the other?
kimBut how far should one go to maximize the good?
kimBut how would an AI system be able to do so, and should they be allowed to?
kimBut what does “ as intelligent as a human ” exactly mean?
kimBut what if things were different and we were comparing five school children versus one baby or five babies versus one schoolchild?
kimBut what if those moral rules conflict with one another?
kimDoes the AI- powered information environment have a similar problem?
kimIn such a case, can we be justified in letting robots take the lives of other human beings?
kimIs it permissible for people to delegate such a decision to robots?
kimShould one program the AI- powered trolley to swerve or stay on course?
kimShould you pull the lever, so that the runaway trolley would kill one person instead of five?
kimWhat if the five people on the track are helpless babies or murderers who just escaped from the prison?
kimWhat kind of AI- driven information systems and environments would be created if libraries approach AI with such intention from the beginning?
