There is one distinction that matters a lot, and that is empirical vs. moral. Also known as vs. ought (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Is%E2%80%93ought_problem https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Is%E2%80%93ought_problem).
When exploring empirical claims, one can aspire for neutrality. Even if perfect neutrality is not possible, it's certainly possible to do better or worse at it.
Moral claims cannot really be evaluated neutrally, I agree. But an AI striving for neutrality could attempt to avoid taking sides on contentious issues.
