Aren't the "previous outcomes" past hiring decisions though?

Yes, but you have to know what pool you started with. As an overly simplistic example, if a bank used historical mortgage approval records from primarily German neighbourhoods to train AI, it might become racist against non-Germans despite that it’s just an artifact of the demographics of the time. I think it just shows how not ready for prime time AI is.
