AI Ethics with Fexingo: Bias, Safety, and Responsible Artificial Intelligence

Business EN ↓ 104 episodes

Every week, Lucas and Luna sit down at the library table to examine the real-world consequences of artificial intelligence — not the sci-fi futures, but the decisions being coded into systems today. This show is about bias in hiring algorithms that screen out qualified candidates before a human sees a résumé; safety failures in autonomous vehicles that misclassify pedestrians; and the regulatory scramble to define fairness when no one agrees on what 'fair' means. Lucas brings the research: the 2023 AI Incident Database report, the EU AI Act's tiered risk framework, the ProPublica investigation...

How the EU AI Act Could Reshape Global Tech Regulation 22.05.2026 10:59

Episode 4 of AI Ethics with Fexingo dives into the European Union's Artificial Intelligence Act, the first comprehensive legal framework for AI. Lucas and Luna explore how the Act classifies AI systems by risk, what it means for companies like OpenAI and Google, and whether it could set a global precedent similar to GDPR. They discuss the specific prohibitions on social scoring and real-time biome...

The Hospital Algorithm That Fails Black Patients 21.05.2026 10:59

Lucas and Luna examine a real-world case where a widely used healthcare algorithm, designed to manage chronic disease care, systematically underestimated the health needs of Black patients. Data from a 2019 Science study shows the algorithm was 50% less likely to flag Black patients for extra care compared to white patients with the same chronic conditions. They break down how a flawed proxy—healt...

The Biased Recruiter Inside Your Job Application 21.05.2026 7:24

Every year, millions of job applications are filtered by algorithms that claim to be objective. But a 2023 study of Amazon's now-defunct AI recruiting tool revealed something disturbing: the system systematically downgraded resumes containing the word 'women's' — as in 'women's chess club captain' or 'women's soccer league president.' Lucas and Luna unpack how that bias crept in, why it wasn't cau...

The COMPAS Algorithm That Locked People Away 19.05.2026 5:32

In the premiere episode of AI Ethics with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna launch the show by drilling into a single case: the COMPAS recidivism algorithm used in U.S. courtrooms. They walk through the 2016 ProPublica investigation that found the tool was nearly twice as likely to falsely flag Black defendants as future criminals than white defendants — while also being less accurate overall than a random...
