“If you are neutral in the face of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor,” as Desmond Tutu summarized. Our discussion about eliminating bias in AI is an aggressive march towards neutrality. Our measure of fairness is a line drawn too early.

Maybe we shouldn’t be trying to eliminate bias in AI. Maybe we should be designing for bias in the favor of the oppressed. Worth thinking about.

Should we be eliminating power dynamics or inverting power dynamics? If we try to scrub power dynamics from a system too early in a neatly bounded space, we just let those power dynamics to creep back in, or we need those boundaries to be impenetrable.

I think you havent spent enough time studying ethics. Willingly creating AI bias is probably the most IYI thing you could have said. Rather than merit those rules will be gamed for. Myopic to say the least. I'm sure Orwell has a quote about this sort of corruption.

There is actually a significant body of work on the ethics of affirmative action, and in a system where "merit" is distorted by inherent bias/discrimination, there are plenty of ethical arguments to be made for mediating "merit" to account for that bias/discrimination. But okay.
