The magnitude of bias being applied today is so widely distributed as to be essentially immeasurable, so I don't know if algorithm-driven policy will leave us any better or worse off. In an open system, the bias could be identified, a patch created and approved, and a new release deployed. As biases shift, more patches are made. Ideally we find smaller and smaller "bugs" as time goes by. Alas, we are seemingly very far from that today. There is probably great value in controlling that algorithm, and like gerrymandering district maps, the politicians have no incentive to create such an open system. I fear that algorithm-driven bail might become just another tool for politicians and power brokers to bludgeon their opponents with.
