Can investors, politicians and corporations -- humans --- filter...?

The problem I have with AI is the Programmers part. All humans have biases, and programmers--and their supervisors--will, no matter their level of integrity or how hard they try to filter or at least to balance one set of biases against a countervailing set, program in their own biases. AI, after all, is only software; it does what it's been programmed to do.

AI has valuable uses in its ability to fuse broad reaches of data and get to an answer, but it will see only what it's been programmed to see. It still takes a human to evaluate--and to be aware of what he's evaluating--the output.

I much prefer to deal with the human; I know his foibles.
