AI algorithms are being programmed with corrective measures to address non-existent bias, which results in inserting prejudice against white people and men.

So in order to correct for this perceived racism, they're actually going to put in the AI algorithms corrective measures that are correcting for non-existent things. So this is already happening, and it's terrifying because AI is going to be in charge of health. It's going to be in charge of justice. I mean, AI is the thing now. So imagine this has happened, where they will put an AI on determining whether or not prisoners are likely to reoffend. So they just put in all the prisoners' information. It will come out with a score. Is this prisoner likely to reoffend or not? What they found was that at the end of this procedure, there were more black people that were determined to be a risk for reoffence than there were white people. Now, the computer doesn't care about race. I don't even think race was a factor fed into the algorithm to get this outcome. But because there was a racial disparity, they said, ah, that computer must be racist. So now, as we go in to determine whether or not people are let out of prison, whether or not they get parole, whether or not they're allowed to post bail, this is life or death. This is the justice system. This is a major impact on people's lives. And yet they're going into these algorithms and correcting for nonexistent bias, therefore actually prejuditing us and inserting bias against white people, against men, against whoever they want to discriminate against.
