It's more that the model learns something that is undesirable. It could be the case, for example, that the true thing that the AI learns is that your resume screening process tends to exclude women. This is true, sure, but it could lead to the undesirable outcome where the presence of a female name on a resume might be weighted heavily against the candidate.
