Title: Introduction: Harms in Computational Infrastructures Slug: 01-s2-introduction Date: 2020-11-01 12:00 Summary: How to correct, shift or expose harms in computational infrastructures?
In this section we will unpack how computational infrastructures operate and what impact that has on the digital systems that are being built on top of them.
We will introduce the work of Seda Gürses and dive with her into the following questions:
- What are computational infrastructures?
- What are elements that shape (or are shaped by) computational infrastructures?
- How can we understand the harm caused by computational infrastructures and the systems which deploy them?
- What interventions are possible to mitigate or eliminate this harm?
- What kind of limitations do you see in the realisation of these interventions?
