> There is a strong push for "fairness", see e.g. "Toronto Declaration". I think all it would do is completely halt progress of AI and install bureaucracy to the lowest decision levels, paralyzing whole ML research.

It would only paralyze those who paid attention to the Toronto Declaration. You’re right because you can’t make ML fair because the universe isn’t fair, that’s a property of human judgements about facts. The facts remain the same regardless of ones feelings.
