The film, which was screened at Sundance, focuses a critical eye on the assumed “objectivity” of algorithms, which O’Neil defines as “using historical information to make a prediction about the future.” While algorithms are often understood as unbiased, objective, and amoral, they can reproduce the biases of the humans that create them. Broussard says that we imbue technology with “magical thinking,” which lauds its benefits but obscures its negative effects.
