Critically discuss this statement by agreeing or disagreeing with Johnson′s main claim that we must reject the value-free ideal of science when thinking about machine learning algorithms, using concrete examples as appropriate.

Johnson (forthcoming) suggests that algorithms are only useful to the extent that they are undeniably value-laden. Explain first what Johnson means when she says that algorithms are undeniably value-laden, and then use at least one concrete example from Green (2019) to explain why the value-ladenness of an algorithm is what makes it useful. Critically discuss this statement by agreeing or disagreeing with Johnson′s main claim that we must reject the value-free ideal of science when thinking about machine learning algorithms, using concrete examples as appropriate.
