If this hypothetical system's goal is to prevent convicted drug dealers from getting hired, this seems like a perfectly complete and unbiased data set.

That's a very interesting question I would love to read more about if someone has good material related to it.

My intuition is that no data set can take into account all aspects of humanity and therefore cannot be bias free.

However, I believe that exhaustive data sets have a great potential of being less biased that human beings.

You say the problem is AI policing followed by an example of preemptive incarceration.

Hello, mister/lady, our 100% unbiased system has automatically determined that you have commited XYZ crime, would seem more appropriate.

>For example, from the outset, would you object to an AI that made decisions on how harshly to sentence someone based on age & number of prior crimes?

Yes. This is an overly simplistic system for which it would be hard to justify the cost of developing.

>What about hiring or admitting people to college based on the results of an IQ test?

Yes. For the same reason.
