AI Redlining

The practice, often unintentional, where AI systems systematically deny services or opportunities to people in certain geographic areas or demographic groups, mirroring historical discriminatory practices.

When AI unintentionally creates "no-go zones"; like a delivery app that avoids certain neighbourhoods or a lending AI that systematically denies loans in specific areas, echoing old discriminatory practices.

AI redlining represents a serious compliance and reputational risk. Your AI governance processes should include geographic and demographic impact analysis to ensure AI systems do not systematically disadvantage particular communities.
