How AI Discriminates

“Survival of the Best Fit” is a game developed by New York University that demonstrates practically how Machine Learning algorithms can make decisions based on bias. 
The game gives you the role of a CEO of a newly funded company which has secured funding and is in the phase of recruiting personnel to staff it.

In my case I was hiring people with 14% more work experience than the average applicant.
