A narrative syntax for meaningful human agency – rereading Greimas in times of algorithmic systems
As algorithmic systems are part of even the simplest actions in our daily lives, the critical issues of meaningful human agency and autonomy in relation to these systems have been increasing. This article aims to introduce a novel way of conceptualizing meaningful human agency and simultaneously address a gap identified in the current predominant sociotechnical solutions. To do so, it reaches out to A.J. Greimas’ actants theory and theory of moda…
Repairing what’s not broken – Algorithm repair manual as reflexivity device
In this article, we outline an innovative participatory method for reflexive engagement with algorithmic systems and the underlying processes of datafication that accompany them. Faced with the challenges of thinking critically and reflexively about algorithmic systems, both as non-expert individuals and expert researchers, we develop and elaborate on an approach for engaging participants in thinking with, – through and – about algorithmic artifa…
How to Be Algorithmically Governed Like That
If users are being $2 algorithms, and companies and regulators are proposing ways for $2 algorithms, with this paper we would like to discuss and propose a third type of governance — one where users have agency, control and governing power(s) over algorithmic systems and their outputs. Our main research question is how do we enable users to actively govern algorithms, instead of passively being governed by them? And what do the users need in orde…
Practical AI Transparency
How does one do research on algorithms and their outputs when confronted with the inherent algorithmic opacity and black box-ness as well as with the limitations of API-based research and the data access gaps imposed by platforms’ gate-keeping practices? This article outlines the methodological steps we undertook to manoeuvre around the above-mentioned obstacles. It is a “byproduct” of our investigation into datafication and the way how algorithm…
