"Coded Bias" is a 2020 documentary still worth watching, if you're interested in the power of algorithms in our everyday lives. It's on Netflix (ironically), but maybe you can find your own source somewhere.
The message I heard in the documentary, over and over again, which resonated with me: people spoke of black-box decisions which went against all the good work they put in. Their good experiences negated, their attempts at improvement rendered null and void - because of their race or background.
