| description | In the not-too-distant future, technology might help us decide which school to attend, what career path to pursue, and whether to marry and have children. It might also help our governments decide how much to tax their citizens, which regulations to impose on businesses, how to manage energy consumption and distribute healthcare resources, whether to go to war, and even how to manage deep political disagreements. What should be the role of humans in this decision-making process? The author argues that there are particular decisions—involving what she calls ‘hard choices’—where humans must be consulted. If they are, it’s possible for human values to remain aligned to algorithmic decisions. |
