automated decision-making
Automated decision-making is the perfect guilt eraser that offloads human responsibility onto the convenient arrogance of algorithms. Citizens entrust their fates to digital oracles behind screens, while questions drown in a sea of data logs. Introduced in the name of fairness and efficiency, it harbors biases and a black box more insidious than human error. Ultimately the decision maker vanishes, leaving only the machine’s cold judgments and a continuous exchange of shirking responsibility.
