This is the tug-o-war of influencer v. influencee. A machine that just tells-it-as-it-is might hold an advantage over one that willingly ignores some data to promote a different view of the world.

Personally, I see more danger in people trying to make machines that evangelize their own biases to the world than machines being molded by the existing social assumptions of society, given that we expect machines to perform most of the work/control most of the resources in the future.
