If you can't guarantee that the algorithm respects protected classes (or other forbidden discriminations) then yes, you can't use it. Compare it to the hypothetical process where "we have Jim decide". You can't open up Jim's head and see why he made choices, but you can run tests against the system (Jim) to probe for forbidden discriminations.
