AI only “knows” what it has been trained on. Since structural racism exists, racism will be present in how AI operates. It does not mean we will have AI Hitler trying to kill Jews, but it might mean things like an AI drawing program defaulting to a white woman when asked to draw a generic woman. It could mean that bias that already exists gets amplified, for example an AI “pre-crime” program targeting Black neighborhoods as potential hotspots while ignoring similar White neighborhoods.
