Description
The Ethical Algorithm: A New Approach to Socially Aware Algorithm Design By Michael Kearns and Aaron Roth Oxford University Press, 2020 As algorithms increasingly shape our daily lives, they also pose significant challenges for individual rights and freedoms. Alleged anonymization of data often fails to protect sensitive information, while statistical models reflect biases in areas such as mortgages and college admissions. Furthermore, users exploit algorithms to manipulate search engines, online review services, and navigation apps. To address these issues, a new approach is needed: socially aware algorithm design. This emerging science aims to embed human principles into machine code without hindering data-driven scientific exploration. The Ethical Algorithm offers a set of principled solutions based on this innovative research, drawing on stories from the front lines of citizens, scientists, and activists. By exploring the intersection of technology and ethics, this book presents a compelling vision for a future where humans are better protected from the unintended impacts of algorithms.
