The dangers of an algorithm-driven world

The algorithm is clearly making an editorial decision, but in our minds, it's not a human doing it, Friedberg./nSo maybe that is what's confusing to all of this, because this is different than the New York Times or CNN putting the video on air and having a human have vetted./nWhere do you stand on the algorithm being an editor and having some responsibility for the algorithm you create?/nI think it's inevitable that this is going to just be like any other platform where you start out with this notion of generalized ubiquitous platform like features, like Google was supposed to search the whole web and just do it uniformly. And then later Google realized they had to manually change certain elements of the ranking algorithm and manually insert and have layers that inserted content into the search results and the same with YouTube and then the same with Twitter./nAnd so this technology, this AI technology, isn't going to be any different. There's going to be gamification by publishers. There's going to be gamification by folks that are trying to feed data into the system. There's going to be content restrictions driven by the owners and operators of the algorithm because of pressure they're going to get from shareholders and others.
