So should we use the algorithms to charge different races different interest rates? Or should we not use them. And address the problems you mention? Because in the previous comment it sounded like they wanted to use them with applause.

Using the algorithm is addressing the problems by not hiding them.

Should we legalize drunk driving, and address the problem by trying to solve alcoholism?

I think this would be more aking to banning drinking and drunkenness altogether. I don't think that went so well the last time we tried it.
