Kartik Hosanagar and Vivian Jair, Harvard Business Review; We Need Transparency in Algorithms, But Too Much Can Backfire
"Companies and governments increasingly rely upon algorithms to make
decisions that affect people’s lives and livelihoods – from loan
approvals, to recruiting, legal sentencing, and college admissions. Less
vital decisions, too, are being delegated to machines, from internet
search results to product recommendations, dating matches, and what
content goes up on our social media feeds. In response, many experts
have called for rules and regulations that would make the inner workings
of these algorithms transparent. But as Nass’s experience makes clear,
transparency can backfire if not implemented carefully. Fortunately,
there is a smart way forward."
