Data-driven algorithms are discriminating based upon undesirable&#x2F;illegal vectors; they are utterly amoral in optimizing their solutions. Even if the algorithm does not have access to the &quot;Age&quot; field, then there are plenty of proxies, like what reunion tour you liked. And the same goes for race, gender, sexual identification, religion, etc.<p>To solve this we either need the training data to have no illegal&#x2F;undesired discrimination, or we make the system moral. I think the first is impossible, and the second is what we will do sooner or later.
