Summary: The following article touches on the idea of bias “proxies,” like address information as a proxy for race. It talks about how the Apple Card was offering lower credit limits for women compared to men even though gender was specifically excluded as a variable. The author argues that we should be including those specific variables so that the algorithms can be audited to ensure that it’s not being biased against them.
