I believe there may be one point where we manage to create AI smart enough that it will be able to read into context, nuances and the likes and do filtering right. None of us reading this will probably be here to see it happen.
Even then, we know AI will be as biased as their learning data sets and maintainers are. We'll probably develop fully autonomous and sentient androids before we can do filtering right.
If people can't figure out how to read context and nuances correctly, there's absolutely no way an AI will be able to do it.
