Life by Algorithms: How Roboprocesses Are Remaking Our World
Computerized processes are everywhere in our society. They are the automated phone messaging systems that businesses use to screen calls; the link between student standardized test scores and public schools' access to resources; the algorithms that regulate patient diagnoses and reimbursements...

| Zusammenfassung: | Computerized processes are everywhere in our society. They are the automated phone messaging systems that businesses use to screen calls; the link between student standardized test scores and public schools' access to resources; the algorithms that regulate patient diagnoses and reimbursements to doctors. The storage, sorting, and analysis of massive amounts of information have enabled the automation of decision-making at an unprecedented level. Meanwhile, computers have offered a model of cognition that increasingly shapes our approach to the world. The proliferation of "roboprocesses" is the result, as editors Catherine Besteman and Hugh Gusterson observe in this rich and wide-ranging volume, which features contributions from a distinguished cast of scholars in anthropology, communications, international studies, and political science. Although automatic processes are designed to be engines of rational systems, the stories in Life by Algorithms reveal how they can in fact produce absurd, inflexible, or even dangerous outcomes. Joining the call for "algorithmic transparency," the contributors bring exceptional sensitivity to everyday sociality into their critique to better understand how the perils of modern technology affect finance, medicine, education, housing, the workplace, food production, public space, and emotions-not as separate problems but as linked manifestations of a deeper defect in the fundamental ordering of our society |

Feb 2020) Computerized processes are everywhere in our society. They are the automated phone messaging systems that businesses use to screen calls; the link between student standardized test scores and public schools' access to resources; the algorithms that regulate patient diagnoses and reimbursements to doctors. The storage, sorting, and analysis of massive amounts of information have enabled the automation of decision-making at an unprecedented level. Meanwhile, computers have offered a model of cognition that increasingly shapes our approach to the world. The proliferation of "roboprocesses" is the result, as editors Catherine Besteman and Hugh Gusterson observe in this rich and wide-ranging volume, which features contributions from a distinguished cast of scholars in anthropology, communications, international studies, and political science. Although automatic processes are designed to be engines of rational systems, the stories in Life by Algorithms reveal how they can in fact produce absurd, inflexible, or even dangerous outcomes. Joining the call for "algorithmic transparency," the contributors bring exceptional sensitivity to everyday sociality into their critique to better understand how the perils of modern technology affect finance, medicine, education, housing, the workplace, food production, public space, and emotions-not as separate problems but as linked manifestations of a deeper defect in the fundamental ordering of our society In English algorithms audit cultures automation computerized processes roboprocesses standardization SOCIAL SCIENCE / General bisacsh Algorithms Social aspects United States Artificial intelligence Social aspects United States Automation Social aspects United States Robotics Social aspects United States Technology Social aspects United States Soziologie (DE-588)4077624-4 gnd rswk-swf Informationsgesellschaft (DE-588)4114011-4 gnd rswk-swf Algorithmus (DE-588)4001183-5 gnd rswk-swf Sozialer Wandel (DE-588)4077587-2 gnd rswk-swf Automation (DE-588)4003957-2 gnd rswk-swf Künstliche Intelligenz (DE-588)4033447-8 gnd rswk-swf Robotik (DE-588)4261462-4 gnd rswk-swf Technischer Fortschritt (DE-588)4059252-2 gnd rswk-swf USA (DE-588)4078704-7 gnd rswk-swf 1\p (DE-588)4143413-4 Aufsatzsammlung gnd-content USA (DE-588)4078704-7 g Robotik (DE-588)4261462-4 s Künstliche Intelligenz (DE-588)4033447-8 s Automation (DE-588)4003957-2 s Algorithmus (DE-588)4001183-5 s Informationsgesellschaft (DE-588)4114011-4 s Technischer Fortschritt (DE-588)4059252-2 s Sozialer Wandel (DE-588)4077587-2 s 2\p DE-604 Soziologie (DE-588)4077624-4 s 3\p DE-604 Besteman, Catherine 1959- (DE-588)172526019 edt Gusterson, Hugh 1959- (DE-588)14027300X edt 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 3\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
