About this Item

Description:

Neuware - 'Few issues are more important than how algorithms, and algorithmic decision-making, are taking over more aspects of our lives. Inside the Invisible Cage probes the important context of online labor market platforms, and the workers whose livelihoods depend on them. Relying on, among other sources, unusually detailed qualitative data, Hatim Rahman makes clear how algorithms have made entirely new forms of control and opacity by organizations possible. A thoughtful, important, and perhaps even necessary work.'--Mario L. Small, Quetelet Professor of Social Science at Columbia University. Seller Inventory # 9780520395534

Synopsis:

In a world increasingly run by algorithms and artificial intelligence, Hatim Rahman traces how organizations are using algorithms to control workers in an “invisible cage.”
 
Inside the Invisible Cage uses unique longitudinal data to investigate how digital labor platforms use algorithms to dictate the actions of high-skilled workers by determining accepted behaviors, work opportunities, and even success. As Hatim Rahman explains, employers can use algorithms to shift rules and guidelines without notice, explanation, or recourse for workers. The invisible cage signals a profound shift in the way markets and organizations categorize and ultimately control people.
 
Unlike previous forms of labor control, the invisible cage is ubiquitous, yet it is also opaque and shifting, which makes breaking free from it difficult for workers. This book traces how the invisible cage was developed over time and the implications it has for the spread of new technology, such as generative artificial intelligence. Inside the Invisible Cage also provides organizations, workers, and policymakers with insights on how to ensure the future of work has truly equitable, mutually beneficial outcomes.

About the Author: Hatim A. Rahman is an award-winning assistant professor at Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management.
