Which is why it's important to ask the question "should we" instead of just "can we".
Even more important is not dividing people into groups that we treat differently. Everyone should have the same education, work, credit and health opportunities. If we can free ourselves from the desire to segregate and separate people in the name of progress, whether or not an "AI" guesses wrong about you is irrelevant.
It comes down to ego... people have to accept that no one can predict someone's potential or value to the world with enough certainty to make restricting people's opportunities worth it.
