The Garden of Gethsemane (Mechanical/Digital Innocence)

"The existence and importance of algorithms is well-known, but how power is exerted via these sets of computational rules is under-acknowledged. Blaming algorithms for immoral happenings, or praising it for its virtue, is a common error in algorithm-related discussions. This error is perpetuated through the language that we use to describe algorithms...(we talk) about algorithms as though it is a conscious-being whose decision making is comparable to that of a human." Fiona Enright 'Section IV, Part a' The Human Element: Information, Knowledge and Art in the Digital Episteme, 2021
