algorithms, democracy, governance, decisions, legitimacyAbstract
The new governance model based on algorithms (algocracy) involves a substantial modification of the principles and procedures of modern representative democracy. The attributes of speed, probity, transparency and impartiality put forward by its supporters generate, in the opinion of its detractors, a radical decrease in citizen protagonism in the deliberative processes of politics, replacing the public discussion of these matters with automated procedures of statistical data analysis. . Faced with these positions of adhesion and rejection, the strengthening of public reason would sustain a modality of moderate algocracy that, along with restoring the relevance of citizen participation, is compatible with a democracy conceived fundamentally from a deliberative conception of it.
