Supporting the AI revolution 

Sharing code is an essential part of the AI revolution. In addition to giving AI the speed that we see today, it allows to precisely understand the goal of the AI algorithm. The reward system used in training is a potential source of discrimination, beside bias in data. I discuss this technical issue in a simple way and argument why regulations should insist on transparency about the reward system used. I will argue that the revolution brought through AI is beneficial at certain conditions, while there is a conservative counter-revolution developing.
