Morning coffee reading 2: @RDBinns asking key questions about the debate rules vs discretion in the algorithmic decision making context. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/rego.12358 1/x

Argument that computational processes are about the rules while human judgment is suited to discretion (and only humans are capable of the necessary case‐by‐case judgment)rely on the “individual” dimension of justice - a case needs to be assessed on its own merit 2/x

Binns exposes conflict between different dimensions of justice. Can algos have role of mediation between dimensions of justice, or is it a role of humans only? Could complex algos for example capture the intersectional nature of discrimination? 3/x

Important Q from feminist perspective- is individual justice through human judgment sufficient to uphold group dimension of fairness, and how can it account for intersectional nature of justice dimension? Human in the loop brings a new layer of complexity & potential conflict 4/x

'If individual justice is worth protecting, we cannot assume that it will be secured by simply putting a human in the algorithmic loop'. A great piece worth engaging with. FIN.
