Your thoughts...
One most recent example that I have encountered where value systems are embedded in data systems are essentially credit cards. To illustrate, when I applied for my American Express credit card this year, I had to fill in a bunch of different information on their portal. This information included my name, SIN, annual income, employment status, occupation, date of birth, and so on. American Express used all these details to determine my eligibility for the card and to calculate my credit limit within a matter of seconds. Due to my previous credit history from an older credit card and other factors, my application was approved pretty quickly. Critically, credit card companies value people who pay on time because these individuals are considered less risky financially (i.e., credit card companies can often lose money from someone who fails to repay their debts). Not only that, but the credit card company also gets a small charge fee from merchants whenever people use their card. In other words, these companies value people who use their card consistently as well.

While my credit card application was rather smooth, this is not necessarily always the case for other people. There are some people that I know that cannot get a credit card because of an intersection of different factors (age, income, credit history, etc). For example, if someone has little to no credit history and low income, they are not seen as an ideal candidate. I argue that this isn’t fair because some people often live paycheck to paycheck and credit cards could be helpful for them as they wait for their next paycheck. A low income does not necessarily mean that someone will not pay on time. However, because of these algorithms set in place based on past historical data patterns, these people are often disadvantaged.

I argue OSAP also has the similar problems embedded within its database/data system. When I was in undergrad, OSAP required the incomes of both your parents to determine your eligibility, whether you are given loans or grants, and how much. The application and loan/grant determination was relatively easy for me because my parents are still married. In contrast, my peers with divorced parents (or those who never married) had challenges with OSAP where they were given no money at all. For individuals with two parents who are no longer together, OSAP automatically assumes that both parents can support and contribute to your education. This is a flawed assumption because some people may be estranged from one (or even both) of their parents. OSAP also might not consider that a parent with sole custody may have a substantially lower income than the other parent and, thus, drive up the total parental income and reduce OSAP loan/grant amounts. Because of this, OSAP can unintentionally discriminate against someone who might really need OSAP to attend post-secondary school.
