Workshop 1: Algorithms and Social Spaces
Algorithms are increasingly being deployed across society. In many situations, their usage is relatively straightforward. But when they are used to help make decisions that can impact people’s lives and choices, things can become far more complicated. By giving participants the opportunity to create their own social algorithms and reflect on the impacts those algorithms have, this group activity shows the ways in which algorithms used in social spaces can exclude and prioritize certain people.
