"Il y a une croyance répandue consistant à penser que parce c'est mathématique, les algorithmes sont neutres." (trad.)
C'est évidemment complétement faux! et ce site explique pourquoi.

Se cacher derrière les algorithmes, c'est ce qu'on appelle le mathwashing (terme inventé par Fred Benenson). Les sources sont soit la méconnaissance, soit la malveillance. Dans les deux cas, les conséquences sont négatives.
Ce site décortique comment ça se passe.

"This data will reflect current societal inequalities, like women getting paid less than men, which the algorithms will consider the norm."

"Even their designers cannot exactly explain how self-learning parts of their algorithms make their final decisions. This offers a clever path to avoiding responsibility."

"By their very definition data and algorithms reduce a complex reality to a simpler view of the world. Only the parts of the world that are easily measurable can be used.
We each have a responsibility to avoid the 'religion of the algorithm', to see that people and situations have more facets than these simplified, reductionist visions would have us believe.
Resist the temptation of the algorithm. Always keep people in the judgement loop. In Europe this is now the law."

"Algorithms are not neutral. Algorithms are intransparent. Just because it uses math, that doesn't make it science."
