That's capitalism's fault. Poor white kids would face the same issues.
That's just a lack of data points and not a system constructed by anyone. The data points should be increasing naturally.
It'd be awesome if we can just solve language barriers generally. Before we can do that having a single official language in working situations seems to be not avoidable for productivity.
Not related to racism.
Is this happening? I think it's straight out wrong to predict criminals with AI trained on previous data.
All in all I agree that many of the existing systems sucks but I don't think it's helpful to link every problem to racism. Disclaimer: I'm not black or white
But why is the data lacking in the first place?
Lack of public black faces as suggested by previous comment? That's not a "system" tho, which would imply something like a policy to reject black faces as learning data.
True, but that's not what the discussion was about. Black kids are disproportionately poorer than white kids, and that's because they inherited inequalities from the past, which came about because of slavery and systematic racism.
What you are suggesting is a lingua franca, which is already the norm in multilingual countries. That's quite different from having a colonial language dominating over the others.
True. But we should make a system to help the poor people to fix that instead of a system to help the poor black specifically.
And what are the difference? I don't think they ever ban you from using languages other than English. Just that the priority is to teach the most commonly used language.
Lingua franca is a language that 2 groups speaking a different language both understand, English is a lingua franca.
It makes sense to teach in 2 languages when bit percentages of the population speak them, in the case of America teaching native American language would be pointless for the children aside from preventing the language from dying
There are a bunch of articles about it. Here's one about it in general

And one with a few examples of ai used in criminal justice

More badly trained AI.
Yeah, cops are using ai facial recognition to identify suspects. As mentioned ai facial recognition is really bad at identifying black people particularly. This results in an increased incidence of wrongful arrest. In America, something like 2/3 of cases go to a plea deal because the people involved cannot afford to fight the charges, so this also results in increases in wrongful conviction.
Cops also use ai to tell where to focus patrols. This uses historical arrest data, often dating back to the 50s. The police tend to arrest more people in areas they patrol more heavily, so the ai ends up suggesting more patrols in areas which were previously sivject to discriminatory laws. They've automated away discrimanotory over-policing
