Description
Trustification: How Technology Discourses Quantify and Legitimize Inequalities This book explores the complex relationships between trust, technology, and power. Garfield Benjamin examines how 'trustification' - a process used by governments, corporations, researchers, and media - is used to legitimize exploitation and increase inequalities. By analyzing data, AI, and other technological systems, Benjamin reveals how trust is operationalized and converted into a metric to extract legitimacy from populations and support the furthering of technology in society. The result is a nuanced understanding of how technology discourses shape our social world.
