Did anyone read this article? Apparently a computer program that compiles data is sexist for better written resumes...

Hypothesis: men and women are the same

Test: gender neutral AI controlled system to remove as much bias as possible

Result: men and women are different

Reaction: oh no the test was flawed

Repeat ad nauseam

According to Reuters’ sources, Amazon’s system taught itself to downgrade resumes with the word “women’s” in them, and to assign lower scores to graduates of two women-only colleges. Meanwhile, it decided that words such as “executed” and “captured,” which are apparently deployed more often in the resumes of male engineers, suggested the candidate should be ranked more highly.

Key point in the article. I dont think I need to spell it out.

AI: Hey, these resumes have male written on them and these ones have women written on them. Well I’ve been told the ones with male written on them are more successful. Don’t want to mess with the norm now do I?

Tell the AI that male resumes are more successful then it will spit out primarily male resumes. It’s not the AI’s fault that employers didn’t get as many female candidates/find female candidates viable.
