Essay from the year 2017 in the subject Sociology - Culture, Technology, Nations, grade: 1,0, University of Edinburgh (Social and Political Science), course: Digital Markets & Society, language: English, abstract: Are we truly in control in the digital age, or are we being subtly guided by unseen forces? This incisive exploration delves into the profound impact of algorithmic governance and digital markets on the very fabric of our society, revealing how these technologies are reshaping social structures and power dynamics in ways we may not fully grasp. The rise of algorithms, driven by big data and fueled by the pervasive influence of new media, presents unprecedented challenges to traditional regulatory and policing frameworks. Discover how the inherent secrecy, opacity, and inscrutability of these systems, exemplified by algorithms like Google's PageRank, create intractable problems for authorities seeking to ensure fairness, accountability, and transparency. Drawing upon Foucault's concept of "Governmentality," this analysis unveils the subtle mechanisms by which algorithms govern human behavior, influencing what we see, what we discuss, and ultimately, how we perceive the world. Uncover the intricate relationship between humans and algorithms, where we shape them, and they, in turn, shape us, leading to a new social order defined by this constant interaction. Explore the limitations of existing regulatory mechanisms in addressing the complex issues raised by digital markets, and grapple with the implications of governments' increasing reliance on private companies for data and algorithmic insights. This book is a crucial read for anyone seeking to understand the hidden forces shaping our digital lives and the urgent need for new approaches to regulation and oversight in the age of algorithmic governance. This investigation reveals not only the potential benefits of digital innovation but also the inherent risks to individual autonomy, social justice, and democ

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Essay from the year 2017 in the subject Sociology - Culture, Technology, Peoples / Nations, grade: 1,0, University of Edinburgh (Social and Political Science), course: Digital Markets & Society, language: English, abstract: In this essay, I argue that the emergence of digital markets constitutes a break with past social forms. Chapter one will examine the new social order by introducing Michel Foucault's concept of 'Governmentality', followed by 'algorithmic governance' as governance by algorithms (governance by technology). I will outline how algorithms are not only shaped by humans but also shape humans and co-determine how social reality is organized. Chapter two will focus on how algorithmic governance and dark net as a space of anonymity pose challenges to society and to current forms of regulation and policing. It will also discuss whether, and to what extent, authorities can respond to the particular problems raised by digital markets and algorithmic governance. This essay will conclude that algorithmic governance and dark net as a space of anonymity confront both society and authorities with intractable regulatory problems. Due to the rise of a new social order, various effects such as secrecy, opacity, and inscrutability complicate regulatory responses on the part of authorities. As all members of society become more dependent on complex technology, it will be impossible for authorities to tackle the effects of algorithmic governance and dark net as a space of anonymity as a whole. 20 pp. Englisch.
