For example, in 2018, Amazon deployed an agent to automate resume sorting, only to discover that the algorithm discriminated against female applicants. This wasn\u2019t due to any malicious intent: the AI had been trained on Amazon&#8217;s internal data, a company historically dominated by male hires.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Likewise, in 2019, it was reported that the <\/span><b>Apple Card algorithm<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> granted higher credit limits to men than women, despite having similar financial profiles.

Firstly, the quality of the analytical data is essential. It is important in the request given to the AI agent to ensure it conducts the most exhaustive search possible. While the <\/span><b>quality of the algorithm<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can play a significant role, with systems like Claude Computer or Manus, we are relatively assured of dealing with quality AI.
