Question

Hollywood studios get in trouble for a lack of diversity in their casting decisions. In order to remedy that, they create a computational model to find promising new actors. The computational model compares prospective actors to famous ones and chooses prospective actors that are the most similar to famous ones. What is a true statement about this computational model? (1 point)
Though it will choose from the applicants quicker than humans could, it will repeat the biases of the original casting decisions.
It is not a good idea to use computational models in the casting process as computers often deviate from the equations they're given.
While it would help eliminate bias from casting decisions, it is inefficient because it would be quicker for humans to choose the applicants.
It will be effective and efficient at eliminating bias from casting decisions because computers are more objective than people.

Answer 1

Though it will choose from the applicants quicker than humans could, it will repeat the biases of the original casting decisions.

Reason: the model uses similarity to already-famous actors (who reflect past biased casting), so it will reproduce those biases even if faster.
