Oh my god, this is gonna get racist so quickly. It's like something out of a sociologist's nightmare. Computers like this don't make choices using "fair" metrics. Anyone selling you a program they say can quantify extraversion from a zoom interview is full of it.

Most metrics I can think up for expressiveness or intelligence that an AI might pick up on, are also going to be filtered through desirability judgements based on the cultural preferences of it's system's engineers. Leading to a fertile breeding ground for vaguely racist robots.

There’s a lot of mystification around machine learning algorithms but at heart it’s very simple: they surface correlations in the data set, and they do so ruthlessly.

If you feed it a data set where the outcomes are based on human decisions and tell it to decide winners based on that, it will immediately push to the front whatever it is people are actually basing their decisions on, and an algorithm has no shame.

This is like how according to YouTube's visual language you're not a real fan unless you have shelves of expensive plastic swag behind you.
