Dear Willard,

I can recommend the following books for a big picture on this question:

- D'Ignazio, Catherine, and Lauren F. Klein. Data feminism. MIT Press, 2020.
- Eubanks, Virginia. Automating inequality: How high-tech tools profile, police,
and punish the poor. St. Martin's Press, 2018.
- Noble, Safiya Umoja. Algorithms of oppression. New York University Press,
2018.
- O'Neil, Cathy. Weapons of math destruction: How big data increases inequality
and threatens democracy. Crown, 2017.

There are many more individual studies. The 2021 study below has a systematic
literature review of the algorithmic audit area, which aims to uncover these
kinds of issues:

Bandy, Jack. "Problematic machine behavior: A systematic literature review of
algorithm audits." Proceedings of the ACM on Human-Computer Interaction 5. CSCW1
(2021): 1-34.

Yours,

Robin

A recommendation or two, if you would: for a reliable study of
preferences built into algorithms, with emphasis on those we regard as
socially problematic, even dangerous, unjust, wrong.

Many thanks.

Yours,
