Hello Loup, this is an article that ties artificial intelligence with an organizational perspective: https://www.economist.com/open-future/2018/11/26/ai-thinks-like-a-corporatio... Regards, Xanat V.

Hi folks,
Anyone can recommend readings helping in conceptualising algorithms as "old" infrastructures or "living" archives.
I am studying more particularly large-scale decision-making systems that relies on "old" infrastructures of the state. Ex: algorithms used to calculate taxes, the work mobility of civil servants, allocation of students into schools, etc.
I am interested about two things :
- while algorithms are sometimes defined as innovative and somehow "new" they actually relies on "old" infrastructures. (the temporality of infrastructures) - the infrastructural capacity of the state and the way it maintain an opacity on these systems. (the attractiveness and dangers of algorithmic transparency)
Any recommendation from infrastructure studies ? critical algorithm studies ? sociology/anthropology of the state and civil services ?
Many thanks,
Loup
