The Case for Algorithmic Scepticism in Law

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  28 February 2025

Abstract

While we are aware that algorithms are at play in the background of much of what we do in our day-to-day life they are still widely misunderstood, says Sarah A Sutherland, the founder and principal consultant at Parallax Information Consulting. Here Sarah talks us through how we should approach our technology adoption by considering what algorithms are being used for and what the underlying technology and data that supports them actually is.
