Against Predictive Optimization: On the Legitimacy of Decision-Making Algorithms that Optimize Predictive Accuracy
Angelina Wang, Sayash Kapoor, Solon Barocas, Arvind Narayanan.
Executive summary sotto: il punto 3 è radicale ma coerente con l’evidenza empirica raccolta dagli autori

1. Predictive optimization is a distinct type of automated decision making that has proliferated widely. It is sold as accurate, fair, and efficient.
2. We identify a recurring set of flaws that apply broadly to predictive optimization, are hard to fix technologically, and negate its claimed benefits.
3. Any application of predictive optimization should be considered illegitimate by default unless the developer justifies how it avoids these flaws.
