As the power and sophistication of of 'big data' and predictive
analytics has continued to expand, so too has policy and public
concern about the use of algorithms in contemporary life. This is
hardly surprising given our increasing reliance on algorithms in
daily life, touching policy sectors from healthcare, transport,
finance, consumer retail, manufacturing education, and employment
through to public service provision and the operation of the
criminal justice system. This has prompted concerns about the need
and importance of holding algorithmic power to account, yet it is
far from clear that existing legal and other oversight mechanisms
are up to the task. This collection of essays, edited by two
leading regulatory governance scholars, offers a critical
exploration of 'algorithmic regulation', understood both as a means
for co-ordinating and regulating social action and decision-making,
as well as the need for institutional mechanisms through which the
power of algorithms and algorithmic systems might themselves be
regulated. It offers a unique perspective that is likely to become
a significant reference point for the ever-growing debates about
the power of algorithms in daily life in the worlds of research,
policy and practice. The range of contributors are drawn from a
broad range of disciplinary perspectives including law, public
administration, applied philosophy, data science and artificial
intelligence. Taken together, they highlight the rise of
algorithmic power, the potential benefits and risks associated with
this power, the way in which Sheila Jasanoff's long-standing claim
that 'technology is politics' has been thrown into sharp relief by
the speed and scale at which algorithmic systems are proliferating,
and the urgent need for wider public debate and engagement of their
underlying values and value trade-offs, the way in which they
affect individual and collective decision-making and action, and
effective and legitimate mechanisms by and through which
algorithmic power is held to account.
