So they admit, that there’s a huge bias against women, black people, …

And then they claim it must be a bias against men. Maybe it’s not a bias, maybe it’s the interpretation of studies which found out that there are certain areas where women are better in their jobs than men, and the AI considered those studies despite the bias against women.

Leadership & Management

Study: Harvard Business Review (2019) Finding: Women scored higher than men in 12 out of 16 leadership competencies.

the AI considered

Sorry to break it to you, but the "AI" does not "consider" anything. They are talking about a language prediction model.
