> Disallowing the use of race as a signal in machine learning / ad targeting could help intercultural awareness Many a time, algorithms infer race from secondary or tertiary variables. This problem is compounded by two more factors - (1) Unable to explain WHY an algorithm has reached a decision aka interpretability and (2) Focus of algorithm building to maximize accuracy regardless of other valid costs. There is some pretty interesting work going on this area. http://fairness.haverford.edu/ http://fairness.haverford.edu/
