AI is only as biased as the data you train it with.
Computers cannot be racist if you don't program/train them to be racist.
The problem is some people think that facts are racist and will cry bloody murder if cops do something like focus patrols on poor black neighborhoods with high crime rates.
It amazes me that some law abiding citizens will complain about police trying to make their neighborhood safer
You have to be careful though. Does the neighborhood have a high crime rate because there are more criminals or because more crimes are detected because it gets more patrols?
I agree with your basic sentiment however one should never forget that you get what you measure. This is always the problem of social science and making decisions based on gathered data. Unlike in the lab its rarely the case the measuring was truly done in the same way at the same frequency.
Because the needs of state governments to have real representation themselves isnt addressed now that we have the direct election of senators. Most of the voting public does not have a clear understanding of what the administrative needs of states are and where responsibility federal versus state divides. Unfunded mandates are good example of things that would happen a lot less if States had representation.
Secondly it turns the senate into body far to easily influenced by a few big often out of state monied
