"...Imagine if the same was done based on race...." Well, the same is done based on race, they just don't need to write that into the software. The point I'm trying to make is that it's going to be impossible to eliminate all bias in the system, but people are justified in their aversion to systems that automate bias into our system. Palantir certainly has the potential to do so, and the total lack of transparency definitely doesn't agitate in its favor. |

While there are many parole officers who use race to make unfair judgments, this is considered wrong by the system and work is taken to stop it (one of the reasons systems like the one I mentioned was being adopted). Compare this to the system I was talking about where it was recognized official policy and considered good, right, and just. Imagine if some police department came out and openly admitting that their official policy is to use race to punish someone harsher for the exact same crime.
