商品描述

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 andsuggesting 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.


商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書探討了計算機系統在未經人們意識的情況下影響決策的日益增長的使用，這是一個重要但被低估的世界運作方式的變革。為了評估這些系統，本書的貢獻者探討了指導人們行為的算法的哲學和倫理維度，這些算法通過引導人們朝向系統架構師所偏好的選擇。特別是在對偏見和歧視的認識加深的時代，這些系統引發了對此類活動道德性的深刻關切。本書匯集了多位不同背景的思想家，對這些引導系統進行批判性檢視。不僅呈現了高層次的觀點，還包括那些日常使用這些系統的人的觀點。雖然算法引導可以為用戶帶來好處，但使用這些系統也存在許多不那麼明顯的成本，這些成本需要進行檢查和深思。本書是界定這些關切的重要一步，並提出為未來算法政策提供更穩健基礎的方法。它應該引起系統設計師、公共政策制定者、學者以及那些對自己從各種網站和手機上收到的引導有更深思考的人士的興趣。
