SUMMARY:Marion Fourcade: Social order in the digital society
DESCRIPTION:Modern institutions\, both public and private\, rely on tools a
 nd procedures that track individuals\, assess their behavior\, and assign 
 them membership in various categories. They use them\, variously\, in thei
 r efforts to monitor conduct\, calculate risk\, or extract value. These cl
 assifications distribute value\, rank people and things\, and shape their 
 future lives. How is social order constituted and legitimated in a society
  ruled by digital classifiers and associated actuarial techniques? What do
  these developments mean for fundamental principles such as equality and f
 airness? What are the moral implications of looking at individuals through
  the lens of these new classificatory architectures? And how do we justify
  the use of techniques that are growing ever more efficient at predicting 
 outcomes but are ever less amenable to human sense making?\n\n&nbsp\;\n\n\
 n\n&nbsp\;\n\nMarion Fourcade is professor of sociology at UC Berkeley and
  an associate fellow of the Max Planck - Sciences Po Center on coping with
  instability in market societies. Fourcade's upcoming book The Ordinal Soc
 iety investigates new forms of social stratification and morality in the d
 igital economy.\nAgenda\n\n\n\n18:30\nDoors open\n\n\n19:00 – 19:15\nWel
