And how can we better understand when algorithms might be wronging us? What should be the role of journalists in holding that power to account? In this report I discuss what algorithms are and how they encode power. I then describe the idea of algorithmic accountability, first examining how algorithms problematize and sometimes stand in tension with transparency. Next, I describe how reverse engineering can provide an alternative way to characterize algorithmic power by delineating a conceptual model that captures different investigative scenarios based on reverse engineering algorithms’ input-output relationships. I then provide a number of illustrative cases and methodological details on how algorithmic accountability reporting might be realized in practice. I conclude with a discussion about broader issues of human resources, legality, ethics, and transparency.}, + file = {:/home/jim/Documents/Studium/MA/Literatur/36_Algorithmic-Accountability.pdf:PDF}, + keywords = {Journalism, Journalism--Methodology, Journalism--Data processing}, + owner = {jim}, + publisher = {Columbia University}, + timestamp = {2019.02.20}, +} + @Comment{jabref-meta: databaseType:biblatex;}
