AI bias isn’t just a passing headline—it’s been a clanging railway crossing signal demanding attention for years. In this episode, Richard William Bird and special guest David Lee, the “Identity Jedi,” explore how the flaws in AI they warned about five years ago have become today’s reality even after the AI industry made so many promises that it wouldn't happen.

They revisit the early optimism around AI as a tool to eliminate human bias—and contrast it with the present, where algorithms sometimes make baffling hiring decisions, like screening out candidates for simply being over 40.

As an additional stop on this episode's journey, they tackle the bigger question: can AI truly have an identity?

David argues that while algorithms may act with a kind of agency, they’re still just code dressed up to look intelligent. Richard expands the conversation, pointing out that digital identity is about context and trust, not just logins and passwords.

Expect sharp insights, a few laughs, and some existential curveballs as they unpack what we’ve learned (and what we haven’t) about bias, identity, and the future of AI.

Takeaways:

• The podcast dives into the complexities of AI governance, focusing on security and operational risks.
• AI bias is not just a theoretical discussion; it's impacting real-world situations, especially in hiring.
• The philosophical debate around AI and identity raises questions about how we classify AI entities.
• Understanding the context of access is critical; it's not just about who has access, but why.
