Inside the AI That Keeps You Unemployed

Video Description

Companies are quietly outsourcing life-changing decisions, like who gets hired, who gets a loan, or who gets medical care, to algorithms nobody fully understands. These “black box” AI systems are trained on mountains of past data, but the rules they follow are hidden even from their creators. That means they don’t just replicate human bias; they can magnify it, at scale, and without accountability. In this video, we break down how these systems work, the infamous cases where they went wrong, and the growing regulations trying to rein them in. From Amazon’s failed AI recruiter to hospital algorithms that disadvantaged Black patients, the risks are real, and they’re already here. The question is: can we make AI fair, or are we just building a smarter way to discriminate? -- 🌍 Big thanks to Remote for sponsoring this video.
