“For example, in the United States, if you are fed up with information about who previously got a mortgage and asked the computer to make similar decisions in the future, you will get AI that lends more to whites than people of color. ”Said Meredith Brucard, associate professor at New York University.

Witnesses who testified before the House panel urged members of Congress to create an ethical framework to ensure that their systems are fair and transparent.
