One of the big issues with relying on AI is training data, and the responsibility for an inadequately trained AI model falls on the people who judged it ready for use, but that doesn't mean the outcome of the AI isn't racist. An AI doesn't need to know the sociopolitical history of race to be doing racist things.
Also, I've never heard of a location with Roman numerals in the name. I agree that programming in the context of knowing who Malcolm X is into a map program might be asking a bit much, but I think an "easier" implementation (reading them as letters) would have also done the right thing.

In Paris you have Boulevard Henry IV, in Lyon the street named after the same king. There's thousands of kings and queens and many more roads named after them. There's also schools, buildings and such named after them.
