The Invisible Architecture

AI systems are making or influencing consequential decisions about you constantly. Your social media feed is curated by algorithms designed to maximize engagement (not your wellbeing). Your credit score may be partially determined by AI models. Job application screening software filters resumes before human eyes see them. Insurance pricing, loan approval, bail decisions in some jurisdictions — AI is embedded in all of it.

You interact with AI decision-making dozens of times per day, usually without knowing it.
