From Algorithm Awareness to Algorithm Contestability

Algorithms play a large role by shaping what we see and don’t see online. In this talk I discuss people’s awareness of algorithms in they daily online social life, the power people attribute to algorithms, and how and when people become disillusioned by them. I further discuss approaches to address control and whether people want control, and move to people’s perceptions of contestable systems.
