Perhaps your point could be further articulated by the idea that we are not maximizing economic capacity by using historical data directly, we need an AI that can factor bias into the equation. In other words institutional racism is bad for predictive power because it will assume certain groups are simply unproductive, so we need an AI smart enough to recognize the dynamics of historical opportunity levels and virtuous cycles. I’m pretty sure this would not be hard for a decent AI to grasp. Interestingly these AIs give tax breaks for the ultra wealthy which I am personally opposed to but even with all the dynamics factored into maximum productivity the truth might be that rich people are better at productivity.. (I’m poor btw)
