In short: Google still hasn't figured out how to stop black people from showing up in Photos searches for "gorillas" (hence, such searches return no results; go ahead, try it). The irrevocable "poisoning" of computer vision systems is a real threat.

We already had a traffic-related version of this happen: when LEDs began replacing incandescent bulbs in streetlights, engineers had to add heaters to make up for the fact that LEDs didn't melt the snow that accumulated on the housing.
