There\u2019s more than one myth about algorithmic visibility regimes: one posits that AI algorithms are tools used unilaterally by corporations to control what we see;  the other argues that these algorithms are mere mirrors, and we are the ones who control what we see online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some say that AI algorithms decide what we see online; others argue that algorithms just do what we tell them to do. Neither idea is really accurate. What we see online is the result of several relationships between several actors and things — users and algorithms but also platforms, coders, data, interfaces etc. It is key to understand the inequality that marks these relationships.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
