AI agents don't have agency, you can't trust them like they do
It's called accountability-laundering and in this case it's a feature.
Oh yeah definitely. There is a very good book about this actually, Weapons of Math Destruction, where the author Cathy O'Neil talks about exactly this - how biases are laundered through algorithms.

Simply put: - Police Enforcment unfairly policed black neighborhoods, overrepresenting them in historical records - Machine learning models were run on said historical records - Police Enforcement used said models to justify their policing, saying it was algorithmically determined.

I may be blanking on a few details, so if anybody can add anything please do, it has been a while since I've read it. These laundering algorithms will cause untold damage and should've been banned immediately.
