    “Machine learning” is perfectly cromulent. The bias is what it learned, because that’s what it was taught. (Not intentionally, I don’t think. It’s just hard to get this stuff right sometimes.)

      Job interviews are all bias regardless of whether they’re automated 😅

        I’m really good at my job.

        But that’s not why I got my job, it’s just a coincidence.

        I got my job because I’m pretty good at interviews.

      It is bias laundering though. They hide behind an “objective” algorithm, which was trained on a huge dataset of past biased hiring decisions.
