Algorithmic Realism

Ben Green has released a new book, "Algorithmic Realism: Data Science Practices to Promote Social Justice," and is discussing its central arguments. In an interview with Tech Policy Press, he outlines a practical playbook for data scientists and considers what the profession might look like in the age of artificial intelligence, arguing that data work should actively promote social justice rather than claim neutrality.

Tech Policy Press has published a piece linking three technology debates: children learning to code, the growing use of drones in warfare, and the idea of 'algorithmic realism' as a way of understanding how algorithms shape political and social life. The article connects education policy, military technology and platform governance as parts of a single conversation about who controls emerging tech.
