在信息社会，以前留给人类的操作、决策和选择越来越多地委托给算法，算法可能会建议(如果不是决定的话)应该如何解释数据以及作为结果应该采取什么行动。越来越多的时候，算法调解社会过程、商业交易、政府决策，以及我们如何感知、理解以及在我们自己和环境之间进行交互。算法的设计和操作与我们对其伦理影响的理解之间的差距可能会对个人、群体和整个社会产生严重影响。本文从三个方面阐明了算法调解的伦理重要性。它为组织辩论提供了一张规范性的地图。它回顾了当前关于算法伦理方面的讨论。它还评估了现有的文献，以确定需要进一步工作来发展算法伦理的领域。
In information societies, operations, decisions and choices previously left to humans are increasingly delegated to algorithms, which may advise, if not decide, about how data should be interpreted and what actions should be taken as a result. More and more often, algorithms mediate social processes, business transactions, governmental decisions, and how we perceive, understand, and interact among ourselves and with the environment. Gaps between the design and operation of algorithms and our understanding of their ethical implications can have severe consequences affecting individuals as well as groups and whole societies. This paper makes three contributions to clarify the ethical importance of algorithmic mediation. It provides a prescriptive map to organise the debate. It reviews the current discussion of ethical aspects of algorithms. And it assesses the available literature in order to identify areas requiring further work to develop the ethics of algorithms.
