'Automating Inequality': Algorithms In Public Services Often Fail The Most Vulnerable
All Things Considered (NPR) // 2.19.18 // 7 min.
The Cardinal Reads committee is excited to present Automating Inequality: How High-Tech Tools, Profile, Police , and Punish the Poor as the 2020-22 common read selection in support of the Diversity Theme, Common Ground: Science, Technology, and Society. This book was one of sixteen titles submitted for consideration by the NIC campus community during the SP19 semester and explores:
"...the impacts of data mining, policy algorithms, and predictive risk models on poor and working-class people in America. Like the county poorhouse and scientific charity before them, digital tracking and automated decision-making hide poverty from the middle-class public and give the nation the ethical distance it needs to make inhumane choices: which families get food and which starve, who has housing and who remains homeless, and which families are broken up by the state. In the process, they weaken democracy and betray our most cherished national values." -- Publisher's Site.
