- This 85,000 word book is based on 6 years research, including fieldwork funded through the ESRC leadership fellowship Securing Against Future Events (2012-16) and writing funded through a Leverhulme Trust Major Research Fellowship, Ethics of Algorithm (2016-18). The research involved over 100 interviews and observations with software designers, government systems analysts, medics, and borders officials. The ideas were also developed through archival research on the ethical difficulties confronted historically by physicists and mathematicians. The work is theoretically ambitious – it develops a new account of what ethics could mean in the context of machine learning processes and automated decisions.
