You don't seem to have read the article because the government admits that there are issues with racial bias and it's already attempting to mitigate that for indigenous people specifically, but not black people.
Whatever correlation may or may not be present should not be used to justify worse conditions. Worse conditions lead to worse outcomes so it becomes a bit of a self fulfilling issue. We do not know how these decisions are being made and that the problem. Even if race is excluded it could be using a proxy for race. There should be guidelines that apply to everyone or a panel that can be questioned and held accountable. AI cannot be held accountable in this way so it should not be making these decisions.
That's literally racial discrimination and shouldn't be a thing.
AI doesn't care about race. It cares about achieving the mission statement.
