    Do you think there’s enough information in the application to decide? If that information is there, then you shouldn’t categorically assume AI is being racist against Einstein. Personal review of resumes is notoriously rife with bias - you actually might want to consider that AI could be an improvement. The guy with the ethnic name might get a high AI score and actually get a second look. You don’t know the AI performs worse than humans in the things you care about. Be real: you have no information about that at all.

        Any comparison with how humans do with the same resumes in that article? Hm… nope.

        The AI models are racist because they are trained on racist human generated decision sets. At least AI can be reprogrammed. Your own article concludes that this research should be used to improve AI.

          What did I say above?

          Believe it or not, we already know a lot of information about this issue. It’s just that no one gives a shit.

          But I’m not sure why you think “less racist than a racist human but still racist” as the current status quo is acceptable.

            Nice attempt to put those words in my mouth. Here’s what I think less racist than a human is: less racist than a human.

              Either it’s acceptable, which is why you’re defending it, or it’s not acceptable, in which case you have no reason to defend it.

              I’m assuming you’re not just saying things in order to practice your typing, so all I can think is that you think “less racist than a human but still racist” as the status quo is acceptable.

              But if you don’t think it’s acceptable, please explain why you’re defending it.
