Took me twenty seconds to click through and determine that the concluding sentences of the abstract in the first link Domingos uses to prove his point, actually does the opposite.
"This suggests that preference for women among identically-qualified applicants found in experimental studies and in audits does not extend to women whose credentials are even slightly weaker than male counterparts. Thus these data give no support to the twin claims that weaker males are chosen over stronger females or weaker females are hired over stronger males."
To me this reads like they concluded that affirmative action (bias towards women among identically qualified candidates) is not occuring at the expense of merit.
- raxxorrax 5y agoWhy would you need affirmative action though since HR policies already dictate that there should be discrimination against genders and HR drones get bonus points for it? To counter bias?
