You'll never be able to really measure anything, right? Including teachers.

I don't think anybody's ever notified that they were sentenced to an extra two years because their recidivism score had been high, or notified that this beat cop happened to be in their neighborhood checking people's pockets for pot because of a predictive policing algorithm. That's just not how it works.

Every system using data separates humanity into winners and losers.

My fantasy is that there is a new regulatory body that is in charge of algorithmic auditing.

Most people don't have any association in their minds with what they do and with ethics. They think they somehow moved past the questions of morality or values or ethics, and that's something that I've never imagined to be true.

Micro-targeting is the ability for a campaign to profile you, to know much more about you than you know about it, and then to choose exactly what to show you.

For whatever reason, I have never separated the technical from the ethical.
