Morehead believes the change resulted from recent policy updates. The SEC’s decision to withdraw Staff Accounting Bulletin 121 is an example of this kind of change. New rules from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) now make it easier for banks…

Because AI developers train models to recognize patterns in language, they often associate certain names with specific cultural or demographic traits, reproducing stereotypes found in their training data. For example, Laura Patel lives in a predominantly Indian-American community, while…
