How Algorithmic Prediction is Disrupting the Principle of Shared Uncertainty Elena Esposito Global Call Winner Social Sciences & Humanities How Algorithmic Prediction is Disrupting the Principle of Shared Uncertainty Algorithmic prediction is disrupting how society manages an uncertain future. Whereas traditional forecasts distribute risk over a population, algorithmic systems predict the riskiness of particular individuals. I explore this transformation in the fields of insurance, medicine, and policing. Giving up the principle of shared uncertainty may come with a heavy… Watch Video Share
