Algorithmic Objectivity as Ideology: Toward a Critical Ethics of Digital Capitalism.
After reviewing various informal definitions, the article shows how algorithms' implementation still presents clear limitations, despite Big Tech's enthusiastic narratives. We then show the ideological nature of the concept of algorithmic objectivity, developing a practical account of ideology. We a...

In its conclusion, the article argues for a critical ethics for the digital age, capable of taking into account the power dynamics that run through it. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Topoi: An International Review of Philosophy is a copyright of Springer, 2025.
