kaal:claim:5541658-013

Bias in judicial AI arises because models are trained on historical data that reflect past inequities, and the standard remedy of fairness through unawareness, meaning the omission of protected characteristics such as race, fails because proxy variables continue to correlate with the omitted attribute.

Source quote, verbatim
This bias arises because AI models rely on historical data that reflect past inequities, and even attempts at "fairness through unawareness" (omitting protected characteristics like race) fail due to proxy variables that correlate with bias.
