Social Injustice in Surveillance Capitalism (2017, methodology): “When personal data are algorithmically processed to predict future behaviours and events, the people represented by the data are therefore subjected to the material effects of discriminatory or inaccurate classification (Graham and Wood 2003; Lyon 2003b).”
Big Data Surveillance: The Case of Policing (2017, methodology): “Surveillance scholars have accordingly extended the core concerns of surveillance from policing and military contexts to other institutions, including finance, commerce, labor, health, education, insurance, immigration, and activism (Lyon 2003; Marx 2016; Rule 2007).”
Artificial Intelligence and Management: The Automation–Augmentation Paradox (2020, background): “This perspective resonates with Foucault ’ s (1977) concept of panoptic surveillance, characterizing information technology as a form of omnipresent architecture of control that creates, maintains, and cements central norms of expected behavior (see also Lyon, 2003; Zuboff, 1988, 2019).”
Algorithmic Labor and Information Asymmetries: A Case Study of Uber’s Drivers (2016, unknown): “This business model is rooted in Taylorist traditions of using worker monitoring to identify and create new efficiencies in workflows (Beniger, 1989; Zureik, 2003).”
The Ethics of Big Data: Current and Foreseeable Issues in Biomedical Contexts (2015, background): “been ‘categorised’ as a particular type or instance of a particular phenomenon is therefore key to reinforcing self-control of data and reducing the imbalance of power characteristic of the ‘Big Data divide’ (Lyon 2003).”
A New Algorithmic Identity (2011, background): “David Lyon describes surveillance as ‘the routine ways [that] focused attention is paid to personal details by organizations that want to influence, manage, or control certain persons or population groups’ (Lyon, 2003a: 5).”
Software-sorted geographies (2005, background): “…and often ignored role of code in directly, automatically, and continuously allocating social or geographical access to all sorts of critical goods, services, life chances, or mobility opportunities to certain social groups or geographical areas, at the direct expense of others (Lyon, 2003b).”
Strategic opportunities (and challenges) of algorithmic decision-making: A call for action on the long-term societal effects of 'datification' (2015, background): “…implications of the widespread diffusion of digital devices in the IS community, but also in other disciplines such as sociology – as in the work of, Lyon (2001; 2003; 2014), Doyle et al. (2013), and Ball (2002; 2005) on impacts of monitoring and surveillance on society, and of Castells et al.…”
