>We had plenty of bias before but we couldn’t see it. We can’t see, for example, that the algorithms that manage the workers at McDonald’s or The Gap are optimized toward not giving people full-time work so they don’t have to pay benefits. All that was invisible. It wasn’t until we really started seeing the tech-infused algorithms that people started being critical.
I’m not sure how this can be said with a straight face. An algorithm was really not needed to perceive this and it’s insulting and strange to suggest it.
