Lessons from the PULSE Model and Discussion

In this post I will attempt to summarize some elements of the recent discussion that happened among AI researchers as a result of bias found in the model associated with the paper "PULSE: Self-Supervised Photo Upsampling via Latent Space Exploration of Generative Models".

I will also offer my personal reflection on this discussion and on what can be learned from it with regards to the technical topic of bias in machine learning, best practices for AI research, and best practices for discussing such topics.
