Description

Cloud Ethics: A New Approach to Algorithmic Responsibility Algorithms are transforming the ethics and politics of contemporary society. In Cloud Ethics, Louise Amoore examines how machine learning algorithms give incomplete accounts of themselves, learn through relationships with human practices, and exist in the world in ways that exceed their source code. Amoore argues that algorithms cannot be understood by simply examining their code, nor can ethics be encoded into them. Instead, she proposes a new approach to holding algorithms accountable - cloud ethics. This approach recognizes the social and technical conditions under which algorithms emerge and operate, and seeks to engage with these conditions in order to hold them responsible. By exploring the complexities of algorithmic decision-making, Cloud Ethics offers a nuanced understanding of the role that algorithms play in shaping our world.
