Weapons of Math Destruction by Cathy O'Neil
informative
inspiring
reflective
Aren't compelled to read privacy policies and service agreements? Then read Weapons of Math Destruction (WMD) instead. It's far more readable and just as relevant. O'Neil highlights the business practices that circumvent federal regulations and protections via data science. I think the new California Privacy Act, for instance, provides privacy safeguards, but O'Neil's solutions are implementable with or without legislation.
What I like most about Weapons of Math Destruction is that O'Neil gives the strong and weak methods for mathematical/statistical models behind their algorithms.
