This seems shortsighted. You are basically asking people to police their own biases. That's a tall ask for something no one can claim immunity from.
I am asking a group of scientists who should be very well-versed in statistics and weights, you know, one of the biggest components in a machine learning model, to account for how biased their data is when engineering their model.
It's really not a hard ask.
So in other words technology is just as biased as the people who designed it
