Fair Housing
An Oklahoma property management company develops a 'tenant score' using algorithms that consider factors like social media presence and purchasing behavior. HUD and fair housing advocates are concerned that such algorithms may:
AImprove fair housing outcomes by removing human bias
BPerpetuate or amplify existing discriminatory patterns if the training data or proxies used reflect historical bias against protected classes✓ Correct
CFully comply with fair housing law because computers are neutral
DOnly pose fair housing risks for large properties
Explanation
Algorithmic screening tools can embed and amplify historic discrimination if their training data reflects biased patterns or if they use proxy factors that correlate with protected classes. HUD has signaled that algorithmic discrimination is subject to fair housing laws just like human decisions.
