We don't need more discrimination in loan approval. A few years ago, Amazon built an AI that would look at resumes and rate how likely the candidate would be hired. The AI trained itself to recognize female sounding resumes (went to women's only college, is involved in women's organizations, does not use manly enough language) and flag those as undesirables.

It's not so much dystopian as it is just buggy software

[–] matter 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

When buggy software is used by unreasonably powerful entities to practise (and defend) discrimination that's dystopian...

Except it wasn't actually launched, and they didn't defend its discrimination but rather ended the project.
