Automating Inequality
Book • 2018
Virginia Eubanks' "Automating Inequality" explores the ways in which automated systems, particularly those used in welfare and social services, perpetuate and exacerbate existing inequalities.
The book examines how algorithmic decision-making processes often disadvantage marginalized communities, leading to unfair and discriminatory outcomes.
Eubanks uses real-world examples to illustrate the impact of these systems on individuals' lives, highlighting the urgent need for greater transparency and accountability in algorithmic design and implementation.
The book challenges readers to consider the ethical implications of relying on automated systems for critical social decisions and advocates for more equitable and just approaches.
Ultimately, "Automating Inequality" serves as a powerful call to action, urging policymakers, technologists, and citizens to work together to create more just and equitable systems.
