Regulating algorithms is essential from "summary" of Weapons of Math Destruction by Cathy O'Neil
Algorithms are not neutral tools, but rather products of human design. They can embed and perpetuate biases, discrimination, and unfairness. Without proper regulation, algorithms can harm individuals and society at large. As algorithms play an increasingly important role in decision-making processes, it is essential to ensure they are fair, transparent, and accountable. Regulating algorithms involves setting standards for their development, implementation, and monitoring. This includes requiring transparency in how algorithms are designed and used, as well as holding companies and organizations accountable for the outcomes of algorithmic decisions. By regulating algorithms, we can prevent them from reinforcing existing inequalities and...
