Just a shout out of gratitude to all those contributing on this thread. I have been beating my brains out on the algorithm thing. cc On Wed, Jun 1, 2016 at 7:17 AM, Andrew Herman <aherman@wlu.ca> wrote:

This is awesome! Thanks so much for putting together. ________________________________________ From: Air-L <air-l-bounces@listserv.aoir.org> on behalf of Alex Gekker < gekker.alex@gmail.com> Sent: Wednesday, June 1, 2016 4:48 AM To: air-l@listserv.aoir.org Subject: Re: [Air-L] agency / neutrality of algorithms
Hi everyone,
The response has been amazing, thank you all for your wonderful suggestions on and off list. And sorry if I missed someone in responding personally. I took the liberty of putting together a public Google Doc with all the suggestions. I tried to keep it short but provide context where original authors supplied few lines of elaboration. The list is freely editable, so if you feel there's something missing or would rather not have your suggestions there - please edit it or email me and I'll do it.

regards, Alex.

Alex, if you are specifically interested in the research strategy of 'ethicizing' analytic objects, the following exchange might be a good starting point:
Kraemer, Felicitas, Kees Overveld, and Martin Peterson. 2010. “Is There an Ethics of Algorithms?” Ethics and Information Technology 13 (3): 251–60. doi:10.1007/s10676-010-9233-7.
Anderson, Robert J., and Wesley W. Sharrock. 2013. “Ethical Algorithms: A Brief Comment on an Extensive Muddle.”,
http://www.sharrockandanderson.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Ethical-Algo...
Taken together, the two articles highlight some of the (fascinating)
issues
that arise from adding epithets like 'ethical,' 'neutral,' 'moral', etc. to computational phenomena.
All best, Malte

Hi list,
I've been running into a lot of writing criticising the notion of "algorithms are neutral" recently, but yet to find a scholarly work that tackles the subject yet. Any recommendations?
Here are some examples for the types of arguments I'm interested in:
