When are we going to get tired of journalists of middling intelligence speaking as if there's something profound about identifying bias? These stories just aren't useful. Every system has some form of bias, more or less, and a system that has less of a functional bias than another system isn't necessarily a better one. A system might be made to be relatively "unbiased", yet be useless to most people as a result. At worst, civilization continues to coerce humans into servitude of menial tasks rather than free up everyone's time if we decide that systems that are biased or aren't God-level perfect are considered harmful.
