Fairer machine learning in the real world: Mitigating discrimination without collecting sensitive data (2017, background): “…(Huang et al., 2011; McDaniel et al., 2016); entrenchment of inequality (boyd and Crawford, 2012; Harcourt, 2006); risks to privacy and due process (Hildebrandt and Gutwirth, 2008); and the enablement of ambient, ubiquitous surveillance systems (Hildebrandt, 2015; Kitchin and Dodge, 2011).”
Want to be on the top? Algorithmic power and the threat of invisibility on Facebook (2012, background): “…as a gathering or thing (Chun, 2011), and as a ‘muta-ble set of relations created through diverse sets of discursive, economic, and material practices’ (Kitchin and Dodge, 2011: 37), further research should look into the ways in which EdgeRank combines with other aspects of the Facebook ecology to…”
Digital turn, digital geographies? (2018, background): “…this turn to algorithms as an object/subject of research is reflected in increasing interest in algorithmic governance and governmentality (Kitchin and Dodge 2011; Amoore and Poitukh, 2015; Leszczynski 2016), as well as the spatialities of algorithms themselves, i.e., the geographies of…”
Bearing Account-able Witness to the Ethical Algorithmic System (2016, background): “Software studies (see for example, Fuller, 2008; Mackenzie, 2006) is emerging as a field for studying codes, and coded space has become a focus for algorithmic investigation (see Thrift and French, 2002; Kitchin and Dodge, 2011) 13.”
Towards Critical Data Studies: Charting and Unpacking Data Assemblages and Their Work (2014, background): “Similarly, databases and repositories are not simply a neutral, technical means of assembling and sharing data, but are bundles of contingent and relational processes that do work in the world (Star and Ruhleder 1996; Kitchin and Dodge 2011).”
The Threat of Algocracy: Reality, Resistance and Accommodation (2016, methodology): “This can be done by algorithms packaging and organizing the information in a particular way or even by algorithms forcing changes in the structure of the physical environment in which the humans operate (Kitchin and Dodge 2011).”
Data colonialism through accumulation by dispossession: New metaphors for daily data (2015, positive): “For example, spatial sorting algorithms are rarely encountered directly as algorithms, but their existence has come to shape the experience of urban space (Graham, 2010; Kitchin and Dodge, 2011).”
The social power of algorithms (2017, background): “The first is that it provides an illustration of the type of embedded nature of algorithms and their potential role in social processes (amongst a range of examples, see, for instance, Kitchin & Dodge, 2011 or Manovich, 2013).”
The real-time city? Big data and smart urbanism (2013, methodology): “These include the widespread roll-out of ﬁxed and mobile internet; the development of ubiquitous computing and the ability to access networks and computation in many environments and on the move; the embedding of software into all kinds of machines transforming them from ‘dumb’ to ‘smart’ and the cr”
Thinking critically about and researching algorithms (2014, methodology): “They shape how we understand the world and they do work in and make the world through their execution as software, with profound consequences (Kitchin & Dodge, 2011).”
Beyond the geotag: situating ‘big data’ and leveraging the potential of the geoweb (2013, background): “…within the Cartesian plane of x/y coordinates belies the complexity of spatial relations between places as represented in the geoweb and the ways that the production of such geographically referenced content is implicated in the production of space itself (Lefebvre 1991; Kitchin and Dodge 2011).”
