THE EVERYDAY LIFE OF AN ALGORITHM - DANIEL NEYL...

This open access book begins with an algorithm-a set of IF...THEN rules used in the development
of a new  ethical  video surveillance architecture for transport hubs. Readers are invited to
follow the algorithm over three years  charting its everyday life. Questions of ethics 
transparency  accountability and market value must be grasped by the algorithm in a series of
ever more demanding forms of experimentation. Here the algorithm must prove its ability to get
a grip on everyday life if it is to become an ordinary feature of the settings where it is
being put to work. Through investigating the everyday life of the algorithm  the book opens a
conversation with existing social science research that tends to focus on the power and opacity
of algorithms. In this book we have unique access to the algorithm's design  development and
testing  but can also bear witness to its fragility and dependency on others.
