理解算法的意义和力量的一部分意味着询问它们可能对道德框架提出什么新要求，以及它们如何对道德标准负责。我开发了一个定义的网络信息算法（NIA）的集合机构位于代码，实践和规范的权力，以创建，维持，并表示通过最低限度的可观察的，半自主的行动之间的关系的人和数据。从梅里尔的提示，看到伦理学作为我们应该做什么的研究，我检查当代国家情报机构的伦理维度。具体来说，在努力勾勒出一个经验为基础的，务实的算法伦理，我跟踪算法组装的权力，召集选民，建议行动的基础上感知的相似性和概率，并管理的时间和时间框架的道德行动。
Part of understanding the meaning and power of algorithms means asking what new demands they might make of ethical frameworks, and how they might be held accountable to ethical standards. I develop a definition of networked information algorithms (NIAs) as assemblages of institutionally situated code, practices, and norms with the power to create, sustain, and signify relationships among people and data through minimally observable, semiautonomous action. Starting from Merrill's prompt to see ethics as the study of what we ought to do, I examine ethical dimensions of contemporary NIAs. Specifically, in an effort to sketch an empirically grounded, pragmatic ethics of algorithms, I trace an algorithmic assemblage's power to convene constituents, suggest actions based on perceived similarity and probability, and govern the timing and timeframes of ethical action.
