I don't think the word bias is well enough specified in discourse to answer that question. Or maybe I'd say it's overloaded to the point of uselessness. Is bias 'an opinion at odds with reality'? Is it 'an opinion at odds with an ethical framework'? Is it 'an opinion that when applied makes the opinion true'? Is it 'an opinion formed correctly for its initial priors, but now incorrect with updated priors'? Is it 'an opinion formed by correctly interpreting data that does not accord with a social concept of "neutral"'? All these get overloaded all the time as far as I can tell. I'd love to see tests for all of these. We tend to see only the 'AI does not deliver a "neutral" result' studies, but like I said above, very little assessment of the underlying to determine what that means.
