A substantial and growing field, algorithmic ethics aims to mitigate harms and realize social good. The fairness paradigm dominates this field across AI, machine learning, and other data-driven domains. So far, efforts toward fairness have been unsuccessful, with algorithmic harms that propagate and persist. Jenny L. Davis and Apryl A. Williams explain why algorithmic fairness perpetually fails and present \"algorithmic reparation\" in its place. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe stakes are high because algorithms are everywhere--from law to love, healthcare to housing, education to media, and beyond. More than lines of code or mathematical operations, algorithms carry history, configure the present, and are actively shaping the future. Set against a backdrop of societal instability and technological transformation, \u003ci\u003eThe Injustice of Fairness \u003c\/i\u003eoffers a careful critique, original framework, and blueprint for social change with algorithms as entry points and levers.\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Brilliant and inspiring, this book moves us from the broken paradigm of algorithmic fairness to algorithms for reparative movements. From rethinking employment antidiscrimination law to concrete analyses of the obstacles to algorithmic reparation, this book offers us ways to achieve lasting social change. \u003ci\u003eThe Injustice of Fairness\u003c\/i\u003e provides a way to get over AI doom and build the future we want.\"--Wendy Hui Kyong Chun, Canada 150 Research Chair and Director of the Digital Democracies Institute, Simon Fraser University\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Radical but reasonable, this imaginative and persuasive book pops the 'algorithmic fairness' bubble. It offers not only a searing critique of current algorithmic systems but also an exciting, expansive vision for a world where these systems no longer harm, repairing how we love, work, and keep each other safe.\"-- Aymar J?an Escoffery, author of \u003ci\u003eReparative Media: Cultivating Stories and Platforms to Heal Our Culture\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Moving us through the theoretical into the urgent practice of repair, \u003ci\u003eThe Injustice of Fairness \u003c\/i\u003epoints scholars and practitioners toward remaking and reinventing technologies as pathways to liberation.
