> I don't see why "AI" gets a special dispensation regarding this

Because it's a black box: It's not like it gets a dispensation, it's just so much more difficult to find and prove there is a problem, unless it's utterly obvious. A slight bias for instance will mostly go unnoticed, especially if it matches the bias of the people using/testing that AI. Is that AI "poorly trained", or working as expected? It will depend entirely on your personal opinion on that issue, and IMHO it will be hard to legally prove in court there is a training problem. All you can prove is that the decision doesn't suit you.
