No it doesn't. Until we all recognize that we all have bias it will continue to be embedded into the algorithms used to track humans, usually the poor and disenfranchised who don't have the monetary/political power compared to those collectively decide what they will or will not allow in their community.
It is abundantly clear that your bias against the poor has influenced your worldview of this documentary. I challenge you to not only read her actual paper, but to look at it from the historical context of how Black people have been tested since we were kidnapped and forced into the US for chattel slavery, how the police force began as a means to catch escaped slaves, how Jim Crow was used to steal wealth while instilling fear in the lives of Black people, and how, to this day, Black people still live within a systemically racist system which allows for this ridiculous gaslighting conversation because how dare a Black woman question the ethics of the "great" and very very white computer scientists. Tell me, how many Black people are in this group? And what practices have been put into place to ensure you retain Black people? In other words, what has been done within this group to check bias to.ensure that you have a diverse group of people working together to improve this OS? I'll wait.
