Ethics in the Age of Dataism
summary
Miriam Rasch examines the ethical implications of ‘dataism’—the drive to translate everything into data and automate decisions using smart technologies—and argues this promise of control and frictionless living carries ecological, social and political costs. She asks who decides which data are collected and for what purposes, whether moral meaning and individual autonomy survive datafication, and how citizens might respond to the push to remove ethical uncertainty through automated interpretation.
