The Promise and Pitfalls of Algorithmic Governance for Developing Societies

Journal Title: Postmodern Openings - Year 2016, Vol 7, Issue 1

Abstract

Many democracies in an early stage of development, such as Nigeria, experience a period of endemic corruption and difficulty providing needed public services. The careful use of algorithms may be of use in helping new democracies transition to a more objective, equitable, and accountable form of governance, though technology should not be viewed as a panacea for structural problems or without challenges of its own.
