Summary

This report examines how AI decision-making systems impact the racial wealth gap in the United States. Based on interviews with people of color who believe they have been affected by AI systems, the report argues that contrary to tech optimists' claims that AI will be a great equalizer, without proper safeguards AI will likely widen rather than narrow the racial wealth gap. It emphasizes using people's lived experiences to demonstrate the potential harms of unregulated AI in financial and economic systems.
