Decisions at the FulcrumAuto-mation: A System named Efficiency Omits Judgment and PrecisionThe story of Hertz's autonomous rental system is explained in this episode of Decisions at the Fulcrum. Initially meant to simplify fleet management, the technology spiraled into a mechanism for arbitrary prosecutions.
A NASA contractor held at gunpoint, a veteran arrested before his wedding, and a nurse apprehended at a border crossing years later are just a few of the striking case studies showing how a system named efficiency promised automation but reflected a deeper abandonment of human judgment.

Publicly SitedMedia, Technology & Culture 10 (3rd Edition): Extractive TechnologiesAs we come to the end of this series, we seem to be circling around an important contemporary theme: the emergent scepticism about digital platforms. This scepticism is not only about the murky decision-making power of digital platforms’ technical systems, discussed in our last episode. It’s also that there is increasing awareness about their operation as private entities. Entities that do not exist for our own individual benefit. Entities which, even if they have some value as mediums of publicity, or have some public utility, are not publicly-owned. Put simply, whatever they say about their mission, digital services and...2024-12-0633 min

Disruption DiscoveredBig Data, Big Agriculture — with Kelly BronsonBig data can dramatically improve decision-making, but the design and imagining of what we can and should use big data for is happening largely outside of the purview of public debate.
Kelly Bronson explains big data's arrival in the public sphere and—using Canada’s agricultural sector as case study—discusses how the use of big data is pushing us towards specific types of food production, and how more inclusive and effective use of big data can produce better social outcomes.

She was studying trolling when it was a tiny sideshow. And she was there, studying it, as online trolling got amplified by algorithmic platforms and a click-hungry media. As Gamergate made it a political movement. Then, most importantly, she was th...2018-11-151h 52
Berkman Klein Center for Internet & SocietyCustodians of the InternetPlatforms, Content Moderation, & the Hidden Decisions that Shape Social Media
In this talk, author Tarleton Gillespie discusses how social media platforms police what we post online – and the societal impact of these decisions. He flips the story to argue that content moderation is not ancillary to what platforms do; it is essential, definitional, and constitutional. Given that, the very fact of moderation should change how we understand what platforms are.
