What algorithms…
”In ranking, classifying, sorting, predicting, and processing data, algorithms are politicalin the sense that theyhelp to make the worldappear in certain waysrather than others.” (Bucher 2018, 3)
Algorithm is a method for solving a problem.
But who defines theproblem?
Where does the data come from?
Who owns thealgorithm?
How does theAI
communicate?
