The system was deployed behind the scenes at a law firm with more than 500 associates to perform its magic and determine which associates where generating what value for the company.
The system produced a list of associates sorted by how much value the associates had contributed. The ones producing the most value at the top, and the lesser ones below.
The people like me on the project, who had no idea who the associates were, happily went to a meeting to present our results.
It quickly became confusingly apparent that management was not happy with what should have been amazing results.
It took a while for ignorant people like me to catch on. The "algorithm" had correctly sorted the associates by value of their contributions, but unknown to me and others on the project (because we could not know) the algorithm had produced a list that while sorted by value of contribution was also sorted by race. Though only the management could recognize this because they knew the associates, while I did not. The management hemmed and hawed speaking in vague terms, but eventually even a dense mathematician like myself came to understand the problem.
The unbiased algorithm had sorted by contribution and this exposed that the value of contributions was tightly coupled with the race of the contributor. This is not to be allowed.
Today's algorithms are intentionally designed not to expose information such as occurred entirely by accident in the early days.
In other words "The AI's are a lie".
Verb
In recent years, we have seen more evidence of the adjectival bias in constructions like “a bias news program” instead of the more usual “a biased news program.” The reason is likely because of aural confusion: the -ed of biased may be filtered out by hearers, which means that bias and biased can sound similar in the context of normal speech. They are not interchangeable, however. The adjective that means “exhibited or characterized by an unreasoned judgment” is biased (“a biased news story”). There is an adjective bias, but it means “diagonal” and is used only of fabrics (“a bias cut across the fabric”).

What I mean is consolidations is not always condusive to productive capex. To limit the risk I
select smaller projects for now to invest in since lets get to point alot of the larger firms do
not practise better risk managent. I dialed back a few years ago and as such have found better
premium payments. I will take the smaller bang for the buck since capex is inline with opex
and that why we discussed dunbars number to scope and scale investments back then.
Adjectives are just messengers being shot.
1861 Internecine Slaughter, not civil war
“I have two great enemies, the Southern Army in front of me, and the financial institutions in the rear.
Of the two, the one in my rear is my greatest foe.”
One month after the inauguration of President Abraham Lincoln, the American Civil War got underway .
The real reason for the war is that . . .
Northern industrialists had used trade tariffs to prevent the Southern States from buying cheaper European goods. Europe subsequently retaliated by stopping cotton imports from the South. Thus the South were being forced to pay more for goods whilst having their income slashed.
This is when the money changers saw the opportunity to divide and conquer America by plunging it into Civil War.
This is confirmed by Otto Von Bismarck when he was Chancellor of Germany
(1871 - 1890), who stated,
"The division of the United States into federations of equal force was decided long before the Civil War by the high financial powers of Europe, these bankers were afraid that the United States if they remained as one block and as one nation, would attain economic and financial independence which would upset their financial domination over the world.
One might ask the question, "Aren't American socialists in favor of their own country's survival?"
To answer this question, we must turn to abnormal psychology.
