Machine learning was never supposed to be good at modeling constraints (hard constraints, equilibrium constraints).
Applying it to real applications with real constraints was a mistake. Google will not collapse if they serve me one recommendation that is out of bounds (a monkey photo instead of a black person). I will ignore it (as we all did for years, before the journalists took on this). Google’s business model does not strongly correlate with the accuracy of their ML algos.
I have yet to see 1 successful company whose business decisions rely on the recommendations of a machine learning framework.
The explanation is trivial. ML works, most of the times. And that is the problem.
