"AI"? Fuggedaboutit

Ticker, a very, very, smart computer-guy:

...a computer cannot think.

It is therefore always an NPC.  A very fast NPC with (in this case) a very large repository of data against which to analyze but since it cannot actually think out of scope it can't possibly correct bias whether the introduction is intentional or not.

In other words a computer always follows its programming.  It is not capable of doing otherwise no matter the sort of arm-waving nonsense that many in the field of so-called "AI" like to put forward.  Until and unless you show me a machine that can actually demonstrate out-of-scope results then this will never change because the machine cannot determine that it is under the influence of bias.

To do so it has to go out of scope.

No machine has ever demonstrated that capacity to any degree, even the very-slightest.  We don't know how we do it as humans, but the evidence is that we do from time to time....

Another thing a computer cannot do?

Ask "Why?"

Which is why it will never actually think.
