If the algorithm is more likely to help a white servicemember than a black one, that would be a problem, no?
It would be, but is that what's happening?
The article seemed to mention men and women, but nothing to do with race apart from the headline.
Im really curious on how and why it prioritizes it at all. Im probably ignorant to this but shouldn’t it just be if you are a veteran and you need help, you get it? Anything less than that would be inequity ?
I'm guessing they have limited resources for direct intervention so use this to flag up people who have the most risk factors.
It doesn't sound like this is people asking for help but more trying to predict who might need it.
