Algorithms instruments of power – IT Intermediary

legaldeli

Today, Algorithms are everywhere, they decide what news you see on social media, how maps guide you through traffic, what prices you pay on e-commerce sites, which job applications pass the first round of screening; it is in health care.

Law enforcement agencies flag algorithms as suspicious, patterns of behaviour.

Algorithms today have become instruments of power, they can amplify voices or silence them, open opportunities or close them, therefore, every alrithm reflects the human hand, it is a human imprint.

The Engineer who writes the code, the policy maker who sets the goal, the Manager who decides to collect the data, are all human beings.

In essence, the algorithms may be new order of the day, but the Constitutional demand is old.   Power, whether human or digital, must remain accountable.
