I'm sure the embedded racism is deeeeep, yeah. All those "AI" hiring models are doing is pattern matching, based on whatever junk was fed into it.

So any discriminatory patterns are probably not only embedded, they're impossible to remove without some hypothetically non-discriminatory training data. Not sure where they would even look for that.
