This book addresses the growing use of computerized systems to
influence people’s decisions without their awareness, a
significant but underappreciated sea-change in the way the world
works. To assess these systems, this volume’s contributors
explore the philosophical and ethical dimensions of algorithms that
guide people’s behavior by nudging them toward choices preferred
by systems architects. Particularly in an era of heightened
awareness of bias and discrimination, these systems raise profound
concerns about the morality of such activities. This volume brings
together a diverse array of thinkers to critically examine these
nudging systems. Not only are high-level perspectives presented,
but so too are of those who use them on a day-to-day basis. While
algorithmic nudging can produce benefits for users there are also
many less-obvious costs to using such systems, costs that require
examination and deliberation. This book is a major step towards
delineating these concerns and suggesting ways to provide a sounder
basis for future policies for algorithms. It should be of interest
to system designers, public policymakers, scholars, and those who
wonder more deeply about the nudges they receive from various
websites and on their phones.
The volume offers multiple perspectives on the way in which people
encounter and think about the future. Drawing on the perspectives
of history, literature, philosophy and communication studies, an
international ensemble of experts offer a kaleidoscope of topics to
provoke and enlighten the reader. The authors seek to understand
the daily lived experience of ordinary people as they encounter new
technology as well as the way people reflect on the significance
and meaning of those technologies. The approach of the volume
stresses the quotidian quality of reality and ordinary
understandings of reality as understood by people from all walks of
life. Providing expert analysis and sophisticated understanding,
the focus of attention gravitates toward how people make meaning
out of change, particularly when the change occurs at the level of
social technologies- the devices that modify and amplify our modes
of communication with others. The volume is organised into three
main sections: The phenomena of new communication technology in
people's lives from a contemporary viewpoint; the meaning of robots
and AI as they play an increasing role in people's experience and;
broader issues concerning the operational, sociological and
philosophical implications of people as they address a technology
driven future.
