Beschreibung

Algorithm Bias Systems explores the pervasive issue of algorithmic bias, revealing how these systems can perpetuate and amplify societal inequalities. Far from being neutral, algorithms used in areas like hiring and criminal justice often reflect existing biases in data, leading to unfair outcomes. For instance, search algorithms can reinforce stereotypes, while AI-driven hiring processes may discriminate against certain groups due to biased training data. The book argues that algorithmic bias isn't a mere technical glitch but a systemic problem rooted in flawed design and a lack of diverse perspectives.

The book takes a comprehensive approach, starting with the fundamental concepts of algorithmic bias and its manifestations. It then delves into specific examples, such as biased search results and discriminatory hiring practices. The analysis extends to the use of algorithms in criminal justice, highlighting how they can perpetuate racial disparities in sentencing. Throughout its chapters, the book uses case studies, empirical research, and statistical analysis to support its arguments, drawing from real-world datasets to illustrate the impact of bias.

Ultimately, Algorithm Bias Systems aims to provide practical strategies for mitigating bias, including algorithm auditing, data diversification, and ethical guidelines for AI development. This makes the book uniquely valuable, offering insights for policymakers, data scientists, and anyone concerned about the societal implications of AI and the quest for algorithmic fairness.

From Pessimism to Promise -...

Payal Arora, Charles Hayes

When it comes to tech, the mainstream headlines are bleak: Algorithms control and oppress. AI will destroy democracy and our social fabric, and possibly even drive us to extinction. While legitimate concerns drive these fears, we need to equally account for the fact that tech affords young people something incredibly valuable—a rare space for self-actualization. In From Pessimism to Promise, award-winning author Payal Arora explains that, outside the West, where most of the world's youth reside, there is a significant different outlook on tech: in fact, there is a contagion of optimism toward all things digital. These users, especially those in marginalized contexts, are full of hope for new tech. 
 
 
 
Drawing on field insights in diverse global contexts such as Brazil, India, and Bangladesh, Arora describes what drives Gen Z to embrace new technologies. From Pessimism to Promise discusses the shift to relationally-driven approaches to design; how to create "algorithms of aspiration"; how to reimagine the digital space for sex, pleasure, and care; and, what we can learn from feminist digital activists and women's collectives in the Global South on shared digital provenance and value, as well as indigenous approaches to sustainability, that challenges sacred ideas on degrowth, circular economy, and the doughnut economy.

Farewell Address Republican...

Ronald Reagan

On August 15, 1988, in the Louisiana Superdome, Reagan delivered a message for economic freedom. We transformed our government from one that was consuming our prosperity into one that would get out of the way of those who create prosperity.
Reagan notes the “inflated rhetoric of our friends in Atlanta last month. But then, inflation is their specialty.” As John Adams said, “Facts are stubborn things.”
When we came to Washington, we suffered the worst back-to-back years of inflation in 60 years, interest rates over 21 percent, declining productivity, weekly wages, and family income, the highest tax bill in history, and a 21 percent misery index.
The Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan. Iran stormed our embassy and took Americans hostage. The world questioned our resolve.
We responded by cutting taxes and creating over 17 million jobs. Inflation is below 4 percent and interest rates cut in half. “I noticed they don’t call it Reaganomics anymore.”
We rebuilt our armed forces, and liberated Grenada. During our administration “not 1 inch of ground has fallen to the Communists.” We're working on the Strategic Defense Initiative to protect ourselves and our allies against nuclear terror.
Liberal elites resisted our defense buildup, our tax cuts, cutting fat out of government, and appointing judges committed to the Constitution. I’ve supported a balanced budget amendment and line-item veto, and every year the liberals said no.
We need Republican majorities in both houses. America needs George Bush. “Go out there and win one for the Gipper.”
God put this land between two great oceans to be found by people with a love of freedom, freedom of association, of worship, of hope and opportunity. Here, it’s sunrise every day with new opportunities and dreams to build.

Britain’s Secret Defences -...

Andrew Chatterton

The first full history of the highly trained and ruthless civilian volunteers secretly trained across Britain to be deployed in the case of a German invasion.The narrative surrounding Britain’s anti-invasion forces has often centered on ‘Dad’s Army’-like characters running around with pitchforks, on unpreparedness and sense of inevitability of invasion and defeat. The truth, however, is very different.  Top-secret, highly trained and ruthless civilian volunteers were being recruited as early as the summer of 1940. Had the Germans attempted an invasion they would have been countered by saboteurs and guerrilla fighters emerging from secret bunkers, and monitored by swathes of spies and observers who would have passed details on via runners, wireless operators and ATS women in disguised bunkers.  Alongside these secret forces, the Home Guard were also setting up their own ‘guerrilla groups’, and SIS (MI6) were setting up post-occupation groups of civilians – including teenagers – to act as sabotage cells, wireless operators, and assassins had the Nazis taken control of the country.  The civilians involved in these groups understood the need for absolute secrecy and their commitment to keeping quiet meant that most went to their grave without ever telling anyone of their role, not even their closest family members. There has been no official and little public recognition of what these dedicated men and women were willing to do for their country in its hour of need, and after over 80 years of silence the time has come to highlight their remarkable role.
