“The NYC algorithm task force disaster emphasizes that it's important to have the ability to say "no" to the tech if it is not working well or as expected. Few people are prepared to let software projects go; it's hard to kill your darlings after you've written them, and it's even harder to kill your darlings after you've invested thousands or millions into developing them. Everyone making an algorithmic system needs to be prepared to confront the shortcomings of the computational system and of the larger sociocultural context.”
