There is definitely some validity, even if it just boils down to "understand how your ML models make there decisions and make sure you're cool with that". I think the challenge is that a lot of the "ethical ai" agenda seems to be getting set by people that understand neither ML not ethics and end up focusing on superficial issues that are not actually related to ML and are more about "now that you've written your decision criteria down, you may not like what you find". Maybe that's what you're seeing, that what could be more of an objective science gets wrapped in a social movement so it ends up looking a lot less legitimate
