alt Hacker NewsIf you want to make meaningful change in this avenue you really can't use words like "bias" or "systemic" because anywhere from 49-51% of the population will immediately shut down upon hearing that. Someone can argue (and many do to varying levels of success) that systemic bias doesn't exist, which means this doesn't exist, which means there no problem.
However, "this AI model can decide that some subset of people, perhaps random, perhaps not, are simply not hirable for any job" makes sense to most people regardless of political bent.
The problem with the term “systemic bias” is that it takes a word that’s about differential treatment and changes the subject to disparate outcomes.
For example, the article here shows disparate impact: that different percentages of applications are passed through the AI filter. But it doesn’t show differential treatment of otherwise identical applications based on race.
