Algorithmic Criticism

Algorithmic Criticism involves analyzing and evaluating how algorithms—sets of rules used by computers to make decisions—affect society. It examines their design, biases, fairness, and impact, questioning whether they promote justice, transparency, and accountability. This field aims to identify where algorithms may cause harm or reinforce inequalities and suggests ways to improve them. By critically examining algorithms, we ensure they serve the public good rather than unintended or harmful purposes, fostering trust and ethical development in technology.
