Chicago's predictive policing algorithm flagged 56% of Black men aged 20-29. In one neighborhood, 73% of Black males 10-29 were on the list. Success rate: below 1%. 🚔

The Architectures of Trust

Predictive policing algorithms grew to flag 400,000+ people with sub-1% success rates, encoding structural racism into automated enforcement. Over 40 US cities have now banned or restricted the technology.

BIASED ALGORITHMS AMPLIFY INEQUITY

Predictive policing collapse across 40+ US cities reveals how AI trained on biased data creates runaway feedback loops. Model outputs influence data collection, causing bias to compound rather than correct, transforming intelligence into institutional failure.

The Ethical Frontier of Retention

AI-driven retention systems weaponize dark patterns — multi-step cancellation flows and deceptive UI — replacing value-driven engagement with algorithmic friction that now triggers record FTC enforcement.

DARK PATTERNS DESTROY TRUST

The FTC's Click-to-Cancel rule ended the era of dark-pattern growth. Enterprises using labyrinthine cancellation flows or AI agents deploying emotional shaming are eroding trust equity essential for long-term value and facing regulatory enforcement.

The Algorithmic Ableism Crisis

AI personality assessments marketed as bias-free are functioning as stealth medical exams, systematically screening out neurodivergent candidates through proxy traits that mirror clinical diagnostic criteria.

STEALTH DISABILITY SCREENING

Aon's ADEPT-15 evaluates traits like 'liveliness' and 'positivity' that directly overlap with autism diagnostic criteria. When an algorithm penalizes 'reserved' responses, it screens for neurotypicality rather than job competence. Duke research found LLMs rate 'I have autism' more negatively than 'I am a bank robber.'

The Algorithmic Agent

The Mobley v. Workday ruling establishes that AI vendors performing core hiring functions qualify as employer 'agents' under federal anti-discrimination law.

ALGORITHMIC AGENT LIABILITY

The court distinguished Workday's AI from 'simple tools,' ruling that scoring, ranking, and rejecting candidates makes it an 'agent' under Title VII, ADA, and ADEA. Proxy variables like email domain (@aol.com) and legacy tech references create hidden pathways for age and race discrimination.
