* The Scored Society: Procedural Due Process for Automated Predictions. Frank Pascuale and Danielle Keats Citron.

Description

John Danaher:

"The article looks at the recent trend for using big data to “score” various aspects of human behaviour. For example, there are now automated “scoring” systems used to rank job applicants based on their social media output, or college professors for their student-friendliness, or political activists for their likelihood of committing crimes. Is this a good thing? Citron and Pasquale argue that it is not, and suggest possible reforms to existing legal processes. In short, they argue for a more robust system of procedural due process when it comes to the use of algorithms to score human behaviour." 9http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2376209)
