2. AI isn't programmed to be anything
Thu May 28, 2026, 11:11 AM

AI is a general set of algorithms that process enormous amounts of "Training Data" to form a LLM ( or Large Language Model ), it then uses the LLM to generate "answers" to queries.

If the AI is trained on decades of hiring practices by actual humans, it then learns to mimic what those humans did and attempts to replicate what they did. So... if humans were racist in their hiring practices... what would you expect from a system trained by examining those hiring practices.

Garbage IN... Garbage OUT or GIGO. True in the 1960s when the term was invented ( or at least I first heard it ) and true today.
