This document is page 163 of a House Oversight production (Bates HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_016383). It contains the text of an academic or philosophical essay discussing the dangers of 'mechanical objectivity' and the use of algorithms ('algorists') in criminal justice sentencing. The author argues against relying on 'black box' algorithms that hide trade secrets, citing Rebecca Wexler's 2018 work on intellectual property in the criminal justice system and drawing parallels to historical issues in physics with Kodak and Ilford film.
