I believe there is a lot more going on than is apparent to the public. Biases in training data are one; failings in how the companies screen data is another. There is definitely bias in AI use by HR departments that screens out good candidates. I note that Indian companies have jumped wholeheartedly on using AI to cut costs at the expense of injecting bias for Indian engineering job candidates.
But there is something more sinister too. In AI papers from Google for example, I have caught things that at the least are distortions and at the worse are lies hiding things. I have to be paranoid and consider that current AI technology is not quite what they say it is, and in some ways it may be being used as a tool for control against the masses.
Can you give us some examples?
All the shitty Indian job agencies use ceipal to generate job spam from scraped resume databases https://www.ceipal.com/ I get 2 to 5 spams daily from these automated spammers.
HR departments now all use outsourced, ATS AI-based screening of resumes. It is terribly brittle in operation and for example can reject a person solely on a small date gap.
Google's 'All You Need is Attention' paper on training AIs is flawed yet widely used. Other Google papers lied and made claims that must have been written by marketers but I saw right away the examples they gave were lies and exaggerations.
The company Palantir uses AI to track people for the CIA, FBI and othe government agencies. They scoop up vast amounts of data then use it to violate privacy by means of correlation between data. For example if you register with a website and give your phone number they can then correlate a posted comment with GPS data of your phone and target where a commenter lives then surveil that place.
