There have been studies showing it does...as if bias from actual humans wasn't enough. It trains off of real life decisions, which are biased, and in turn amplifies those biases. I can't remember where I saw it, but someone fed multiple resumes through job postings, exact same work history and qualifications, but one had a female name and one had a male name...you can guess how that turned out.
I was going to say, the AI itself has no emotions or stake, it's not biased.
But the data it's being trained on is heavily biased. So they'll claim that it's an unfeeling, neutral system but always fail to mention it's being trained on heavily biased data, making it heavily biased.
Basically, all it's doing is streamlining biases and bigotry so corporations can weed out "undesirables" more efficiently.
