Who Put the Computer in Charge?
By Sonny Saggar
Planned book · Working title · No publication date announced
Rules are followed and absurdity results. Who can question an automatic decision, correct a mistake or take responsibility?
A place to begin
A system can apply a rule consistently while producing a result nobody intended. Consistency alone does not settle whether the rule is suitable.
A question worth arguing with
Who can explain, challenge and correct the decision?
Try this
Choose an automatic decision you encounter. Identify its inputs, its appeal route and the person accountable for correction.
