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. 650 0 $a Automation $x Social aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Robotics $x Social aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Artificial intelligence $x Social aspects $z United States. 650 7 $a Artificial intelligence $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00817279 650 7 $a Automation $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00822807 650 7 $a Robotics $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01099017 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 700 1 $a Besteman, Catherine Lowe, $e editor. 700 1 $a Gusterson, Hugh, $e editor. 941 $a 2 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20200319010246.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190905042244.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A4209556CFA311E9B77D544F97128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
