With 6000 sample loan apps “chatbots recommended denials for more Black applicants than identical white counterparts. They also recommended Black applicants be given higher interest rates, and labeled Black and Hispanic borrowers as ‘riskier.’”

As AI takes the helm of decision making, signs of perpetuating historic biases emerge • Utah News Dispatch

When chatbots make loan suggestions for mortgage applications, researchers at Pennsylvania’s Lehigh University found racial bias at play.

Oh cool, AI is racist on top of everything else.

Lmao they really automated redlining. Whole field trash, fuck you in the face Hinton for that “those arent the REAL problems” shit when pressed about X-risk vs this.

Garbage in, garbage out (chatbots perpetuating racism because they were trained on racist data).

AI merely multiplying existing racism

Oh WEIRD no one could have predicted this exact shit would happen.

Who could have predicted this besides anyone paying attention to this thing for decades www.reuters.com/article/worl...

Insight - Amazon scraps secret AI recruiting tool that showed bias against women

Amazon.com Inc's <AMZN.O> machine-learning specialists uncovered a big problem: their new recruiting engine did not like women.

Lol “it is always 2016” rears its head in ever-novel ways!

"AI" doesn't do any "decision making". The decisions are made by the people who decide to use "AI" and use the output from "AI". It's a way of dodging responsibility. This is just the latest version of "It was a computer error" excuse.

Software and associated tech always contain the biases of those who create it, i.e., generally middle class white males. Anyone who argues differently is talking out their ass and likely someone who idolizes #Tusk (Signed, retired techie.)

Having AI doing this type of work needs to be severely restricted.
