It is an interesting question. However, there are ways to answer this question as we have been measuring discrimination before algorithms. Algorithms are a way of reaching a decisions. Therefore, we can measure discrimination if we audit decisions generated by algorithms. In other words, look at the input-output of the algorithm and measure the impact. In the US, the doctrine of disparate impact has long been used a guideline to evaluate discrimination [0].
