[QUOTE="Jfdlsjfd, post: 9090521, member: 42856"] Indeed. I didn't know the social status associated with the name Jared or playing lacrosse in the US, but it's unfortunately easy to guess why the training sample did inclure more of them, than say, people named from a disenfranchized social groups. It's the same bia found in prompt-expressing: if you're asking the generator to draw a CEO, most of the images will show a white male, wearing a suit. It might not even be a bia, but a reflection of the current situation (on which the AI is trained). On the other hand, it's also possible that's it just a cause of two things being correlated without any causation link. Tending to mention lacrosse on their resume is just a trait that wasn't selected by the human, but it tells us things about being in the mindset of mentionning high-school lacrosse on their resume. For example, we as recruiters might exhibit a bia toward hiring younger persons, and those are more often (it's an anecdotal observation, not a fact) inclined to pad their resume with high school experience (because they don't want to give a half-empty page to the recruiter).
