Trust Is Not Enough: Accuracy, Error, Randomness, and Accountability in an Algorithmic Society: Searching for improved algorithmic accountability.

The article discusses the need for accountability from those responsible for search algorithms, including software engineers, corporate officers, institutions, and licensing agencies. Challenges in developing a mechanism for accountability in algorithmic systems are presented, as is the need to addr...

      ab: The article discusses the need for accountability from those responsible for search algorithms, including software engineers, corporate officers, institutions, and licensing agencies. Challenges in developing a mechanism for accountability in algorithmic systems are presented, as is the need to address the potential harms caused by algorithmic systems. A significant barrier to accountability includes shifting the blame for errors to external, uncontrollable factors, which the authors refer to as scapegoating.
