It might mean that there is no such thing as absolute truth.

All machines have to be assembled by someone at this time. And presumably, carry some bias.
In the future, I suspect that machines will assemble machines.

One would think that regardless of who or what created the machine that the algorithms would always contain a bias of some kind.
Even if a programmer's intent is to make the world as wonderful as possible, the programmer's idea of wonderful may be different than yours or mine.

"The devil is in the details" seems a vast understatement when wondering about that. The scary thing is the power that will be concentrated and centralized.
