Pele negra, algoritmos brancos: informação e racismo nas redes sociotécnicas by Arthur Coelho Bezerra, Camila Mattos da Costa

“…No atual capitalismo de dados, os vieses raciais discriminatórios têm-se revelado como mais uma maneira de reforçar as desigualdades já existentes na sociedade, na medida em que corroboram para a reprodução do racismo que, nas redes sociotécnicas, converte-se em uma forma de opressão algorítmica. A partir de uma abordagem metodológica centrada na revisão de literatura, este artigo tem como objetivo explorar os enviesamentos racistas presentes nas redes digitais, em especial aqueles inscritos nos algoritmos que organizam e classificam a informação disponível online, trazendo o debate ao campo da ética da informação. …”
