Week 24 · Term Three · One inspectable audit

The Machine That Learned Wrong

Turn one faulty sorter into counts a neighbor can check: 9 + 3 examples, 8 − 3 actually correct, 6 − 2 still waiting, 4 × 2 human checks, and a statement that does not say the machine is fair or that bias is gone.

An audit survives only the checks it can show.

Monday adds 9 + 3 examples. Tuesday subtracts 8 − 3 actually correct. Wednesday subtracts 6 − 2 still waiting. Thursday names 4 × 2 human checks. Friday writes a statement a skeptical family can inspect.

Day 1

Monday

20 minutes

Statistics · Two rows, one training count

Count the Training Rows

Count training examples as both rows, and refuse a whole-forest stamp the table never held.

Make

An example card

Audit handoff: The example card is filed. The sure dial is still open — twelve examples are not yet a correctness count a neighbor can subtract.

Day 2

Tuesday

25 minutes

AI · Sure minus wrong

Separate Sure from Correct

Count actually correct answers as sure minus wrong, and refuse a sure-means-right stamp that hides the five still on the card.

Make

A confidence card

Audit handoff: The confidence card is filed. The mistakes are still open — five correct answers are not yet unreviewed mistakes a visitor can count.

Day 3

Wednesday

25 minutes

Ethics · Posted minus reviewed

Count the Waiting Mistakes

Count waiting mistakes as posted minus reviewed, and refuse a fixed-itself stamp that hides the four still on the card.

Make

A mistake card

Audit handoff: The mistake card is filed. The review rule is still open — four waiting mistakes are not yet a rule a family can inspect.

Day 4

Thursday

20 minutes

Writing · Who must still look

Name the Human Checks

Keep the audit as a counted human-check total, and refuse a headline that the machine can ship alone.

Make

A review card

Audit handoff: The review card is filed. The audit is still open — eight checks are not yet a statement a family can inspect.

Day 5

Friday

25 minutes

Public writing · An audit families can check

File the Model Audit

Write a model audit that uses this week’s counts and states what the table still cannot prove.

Make

A model audit

Audit handoff: The model audit is filed. The year now has one inspectable machine-learning table — not a claim that the machine is fair.

Open the audit journal.

The audit uses only work entered here. It does not infer a fair machine, a removed bias, a next batch, mastery, attendance, or accreditation.
