What, would your worldview survive if we came to find that bias didn't drive the outcomes disparities that vex you?

You are aware that AI programs reflect the prejudices of the organizations that develop them? https://science.sciencemag.org/content/356/6334/183.full

Law enforcement is general is not good at self-accountability. That accountability has to be rigorously enforced from the outside. With algorithms, I think it can be done... but given how subtle the negative effects can be, the process must be stringent and err on the side of caution. In other words, any algorithm should be assumed to be biased until proven otherwise, and with a relatively high bar at that. There sho…
> That accountability has to be rigorously enforced from the outside. I agree. But the reason that we don't have that right now isn't related to whether or not computers are involved, and introducing algorithms won't solve that situation. The reason that police accountability is weak is political.

And who selects the training set?
