Because such algorithms could identify competent and benevolent people, they could provide a means to better social decisions.
They could. But let me rewrite that sentence. Because such algorithms could identify particular kinds of people, they give much power to those who can apply these algorithms to other people and read the results. This would lead to concentration of power and more manipulation—and that doesn’t look like the path to “better social decisions”.
