520 |a "The critical turning points in our lives are often decided by algorithms--rules carried out by software, on a computer. Algorithms determine who gets scarce seats at top public schools. At a bank or an insurance company, an algorithm mines your data to decide whether you'll get a loan. If you apply for a job at a large employer, an algorithm is increasingly likely to scan your résumé, deciding before any human pays attention whether you're even worth talking to. In each case, there are deeply human questions at the heart of a job that has been given to a machine. Which of a person's traits are legitimately related to her job performance and fair game for her potential employer to consider? How should scarce public resources--be they medicine, housing, or a coveted slot at an elite public school--be distributed? Voices in the Code is about choices like these--the ethical trade-offs inside life-altering algorithms--and about how such choices can be made"--  |c Provided by publisher.
