Algorithms of oppression: what no one else account on technological demarcation

Abstract

Algorithms of Oppression: how search engines reinforce racism is the original title of the work by the American Black researcher Safyia Umoja Noble, which was translated by Felipe Damorim and published by Rua do Sabão Publishing in 2021 in Brazil. Noble's entire narrative is significantly based on research from different areas that engage with media studies, technology, gender, race, anti-pornography, curation, sexuality, and even cyber racism to understand how algorithms oppress certain groups of people. In the end, Noble (2021) concludes the importance of public policies that protect human and civil rights visibly compromised by the negative effects of artificial intelligences programmed without ethics and regulation.
