>Dr. Grace Lordan, Associate Professor and Founding director of The Inclusion Initiative at LSE: "There is evidence that current hiring processes are plagued by cronyism and bias. It is time that humans hand over the hiring process to machines who do not have these tendencies. Biases embedded in algorithms can be mitigated somewhat with more care from those writing them, and compliance folk, who do not have skin in the hiring process can monitor the process to abate any concerns on fairness. Let's progress AI in recruitment and workplace inclusivity at the same time."

Translation: we "fixed" the bias by rebiasing the neural nets to favor "diverse" candidates. It's still racist, just against the right demographic now, and if you want those ESG goodboy points you'd better use it.
