The Everyday Life of an Algorithm

Authors: Daniel Neyland

Description:This open access book traces the development of an ethical video surveillance algorithm for transport hubs over three years. It explores the algorithm's journey through various stages of experimentation, addressing questions of ethics, transparency, accountability, and market value. Unlike existing research on algorithmic power and opacity, the book uniquely focuses on the algorithm's everyday life, offering insights into its design, development, and testing. It highlights the algorithm's fragility and dependence on collaboration, encouraging a nuanced conversation about its role in real-world settings
