The Injustice of Fairness

"Brilliant and inspiring, this book moves us from the broken paradigm of algorithmic fairness to algorithms for reparative movements. From rethinking employment antidiscrimination law to concrete analyses of the obstacles to algorithmic reparation, this book offers us ways to achieve lasting social change. The Injustice of Fairness provides a way to get over AI doom and build the future we want."--Wendy Hui Kyong Chun, Canada 150 Research Chair and Director of the Digital Democracies Institute, Simon Fraser University "Radical but reasonable, this imaginative and persuasive book pops the 'algorithmic fairness' bubble. It offers not only a searing critique of current algorithmic systems but also an exciting, expansive vision for a world where these systems no longer harm, repairing how we love, work, and keep each other safe."-- Aymar Jèan Escoffery, author of Reparative Media: Cultivating Stories and Platforms to Heal Our Culture "Moving us through the theoretical into the urgent practice of repair, The Injustice of Fairness points scholars and practitioners toward remaking and reinventing technologies as pathways to liberation. A truly compelling and critical look at how we shape the future of algorithmic justice."--Catherine Knight Steele, author of Digital Black Feminism
