'By claiming that racism, sexism and other forms of discrimination can be stripped away from the hiring process using artificial intelligence, these companies reduce race and gender down to insignificant data points, rather than systems of power that shape how we move through the world.'

And there's the real crux of the matter. The problem isn't the "weirdly" way the AI categorizes people. The problem is that it's not giving special preference to minorities.

You have to realize that the AI is already incredibly biased against white men, because they do all kinds of things to favor minorities. The AI just isn't biased enough against white men, but that is a fault of the developers, because we do have the methods to deal with these issues.

It has been the MOST researched area in AI for the past decade. Imagine how insane that is. We have one of the most amazing technologies but the MOST researched field in AI is how to discriminate against white men. Think about how insane that is.

White people often laugh about how the AI's are "racists, sexists, etc" but you only hear about the ones that the wokes dislike, you don't hear about the 1000s of AI's that are working perfectly well to keep white men down. And the ones the wokes dislike are not favoring white men, they're simply not biased enough.
