I think the best example about how AI will only further a bias that's already there is the one when Amazon used AI to weed out applications by training an ai with which applications resulted in hired people and which failed - eventually they found that they almost only had interviews with men and upon closer inspection identified that they already were subconsciously discriminating against women earlier but at least HR sent them an equal amount of men and women to the interviews which now wasn't the case anymore since the AI didn't see the value in sending the women to interviews if most of them wouldn't be hired anyway.
