I strongly suspect that the author of this article does not have much background or interest in AI, and is merely part of a push to politicize it. I have spoken to people who are adamant that AI is racist and needs to be forced to change, but seem at a loss to go into even layman levels of technical details. So I suspect that they are just parroting a received opinion. To be clear, of course I know that there are all sorts of systematic forms of unfairness. But I think that AI is just an implementation of systems. The AI umbrella extends as far as what are essentially spreadsheets. Are spreadsheets unfair, or are the policies unfair? Does it make sense to lobby Microsoft to do something about predatory lenders using Excel?
