Recensions de “The Constitution of Algorithms. Ground-Truthing, Programming, Formulating”

Le livre de Florian Jaton, chercheur au STS Lab de l’UNIL et membre du dhCenter, intitulé The Constitution of Algorithms: Ground-Truthing, Programming, Formulating et publié au MIT Press, vient de faire l’objet de plusieurs recensions.

« L’assemblée des algorithmes » d’Olivier Alexandre

Aux confins de l’ethnographie, de l’histoire de l’informatique et de la philosophie des sciences, Florian Jaton fait la lumière sur les algorithmes, ces boîtes noires qui orientent les décisions financières, les amours et les peines.

L’article « L’assemblée des algorithmes » est disponible sur le site “La Vie des Idées”, affilié au Collège de France.

 

“Salience Machines: A Review of Florian Jaton’s The Constitution of Algorithms: Ground-Truthing, Programming, Formulating”, Emma Stamm

From end to end, the book is buoyed by Jaton’s glowing curiosity about computer science. Its mood is passionate and reverent—a far cry from that of social research which dismisses digital media as little more than reified politics […]Perhaps this enthusiasm is key to repairing algorithms’ poor reputation in the social sciences. The Constitution of Algorithms asserts that their forms are never fully determined, and that their capacity for positive change depends on our openness to them.
