This ground-breaking and timely book explores how big data,
artificial intelligence and algorithms are creating new types of
agency, and the impact that this is having on our lives and the
rule of law. Addressing the issues in a thoughtful,
cross-disciplinary manner, the authors examine the ways in which
data-driven agency is transforming democratic practices and the
meaning of individual choice. Leading scholars in law, philosophy,
computer science and politics analyse the latest innovations in
data science and machine learning, assessing the actual and
potential implications of these technologies. They investigate how
this affects our understanding of such concepts as agency,
epistemology, justice, transparency and democracy, and advocate a
precautionary approach that takes the effects of data-driven agency
seriously without taking it for granted. Scholars and students of
law, ethics and philosophy, in particular legal, political and
democratic theory, will find this book a compelling and invaluable
read, as will computer scientists interested in the implications of
their own work. It will also prove insightful for academics and
activists working on privacy, fairness and anti-discrimination.
