Algorithmic Pluralism: A Structural Approach To Equal Opportunity by Jain, Shomik, Suriyakumar, Vinith, Creel, Kathleen, Wilson, Ashia

“…Algorithmic pluralism describes a state of affairs in which no set of algorithms severely limits access to opportunity, allowing individuals the freedom to pursue a diverse range of life paths. To argue for algorithmic pluralism, we adopt Joseph Fishkin’s theory of bottlenecks, which focuses on the structure of decision-points that determine how opportunities are allocated. …”
