Algorithmic Distribution

What is the future of distributive justice? I suggest that, in a substantial departure from the past, algorithms will play four vital roles. But we should recap briefly before I introduce them. Code, you may recall, refers to the instructions given to hardware—the physical stuff of technology—telling it what to do. Digital systems can only operate according to their code. An algorithm is any set of instructions for performing a task or solving a problem. An algorithm can be expressed in code, that is, in programming language that digital systems can understand. Machine learning algorithms are algorithms capable of ‘learning’ knowledge and skills, including how to find patterns, create models, and perform tasks. Some have the potential to act in ways that their human creators did not foresee- and many are high-performing in ways that do not necessarily mimic human intelligence.
