decision making often assume we can better describe and predict social
phenomena through the collection, imputation, and manipulation of data. But the
problems and issues of how to measure, how to count, and what counts in
counting, have a long history that predates the digital revolution.<span>  </span>Quantifying social life shapes not only what
we know but <i>how</i> we<i> </i>know. It simultaneously describes, imposes
perspectives, and presupposes values.<span></span></span></p>

understanding. They may transform and threaten existing practices and
professions, and, in the process, create social conflict and breed distrust. Using
machine learning systems to augment or replace human decision making may
conflict with existing social norms, political values, and legal
interpretations. The rise and spread of machine learning systems, and of
algorithmic decision making more generally, have spurred calls for legal and
social reform. But these technologies may also change people’s existing values,
lead to new political and cultural norms, and novel conceptions (and measures)
of community, justice, and equality.<span></span></span></p>
