If the current set of biases can be construed to lead to death, heck yeah I will take another set.
The idea is that this other set of biases will at least have a chance of not landing us in hot water (or hot air as it might be right now).
Now note again, that the current set of biases got us in an existential risk and likely disaster. (Ask Exxon how unbiased they were.)
AI does not optimize for this thing at all. It cannot tell the logical results from, say, hiring a cutthroat egoist. It cannot detect one from a CV. Which could be a much bigger and more dangerous bias than discrimination against disabled.
It might be likely optimizing for hiring conformists even if told to prefer diversity, as many companies are, and that would choke any creative industry ultimately.
It might be optimizing for short term tactics over long term strategy. Etc.
The idea here is that certain set of biases go together, even in AI. It's like a culture, we could test for it. In this case, hiring or organizational culture.
