Is using commercially generated big data a way to build new theory? Is refusing to use it a sign of scholarly integrity? Lindebaum et al. & Glaser et al. offer differing views.

The dark side of AI’s promised efficiencies: artificial intelligence can use data and algorithms in a way that prioritises rationality over values such as fairness and quality of education, @UAlberta’s @glaserv writes on #THECampus

The hype around ChapGPT masks an infrastructure that depends on humans to tag training data — for pennies — and a tech stack that is so costly to buy and operate that the scale required for break even is hard to imagine.

4/We suggest that organizations can combat algorithmic inertia through four corresponding practices: exposing data and assumptions; periodically redesigning algorithmic routines; assuming that the model will break; and building bridges between data scientists and domain experts

3/We identify four sources of algorithmic inertia: buried assumptions, superficial remodeling, simulation of the unknown future, and specialized compartmentalization

"Are we ready for #AI to raise the dead? ... This is not remotely the first time we’ve faced a we-can-but-should-we moment as a society ... It may even spawn a new concept: the right to remain dead."

I'm looking forward to discussing our paper, The Biography of an Algorithm (with @lucianadadderio and @neilpollock), with the Practice and Process reading group in a couple of weeks (on 5/26)! Registration here: eventbrite.com/e/practice-an…

Artificial intelligence has vast potential to benefit society — from medical diagnostics to fraud prevention — but human judgment and values need to be factored in, says #UAlberta researcher who looked at what can happen when #AI fails. @UAlbertaBiz ualberta.ca/folio/2023/04/st…

Nice new paper by Dean Shepherd, Stella Seyb, and @profgerrygeorge on how instantiating business models as formal, cognitive/linguistic, and real/physical boundary objects can help entrepreneurs identify and overcome business model incoherence.

Important piece by @glaserv and colleagues @tineadam @mehreenashraf91“The potential devastating effect of using algorithms: rationality as preferred conduct and efficiency as preferred end taking over all other values, becoming ultimate values in and of themselves”

5/To prevent this erosion of values, organizations can follow 3 principles: (1) Beware of proxies and scaling effects, (2) Strategically insert human interventions into your algorithmic decision-making, and (3)Creating evaluative systems that account for multiple values

3/This induces a process that we call the mechanization of values, in which everything is forced into a quantifiable straightjacket and we limit consideration of the full spectrum of human values

2/Some highlights:
- When we integrate algorithms into business processes, we tacitly agree that everything must be measured, quantified, standardized, and rationalized so that it is ready for computation
