A starting point for discussion
The idea
Many modern systems that search data for patterns use very large datasets gathered through expanding networks of data-monitoring technologies.
Place in the reasoning
AI assessment · Connected to reasoning
The statement describes large datasets gathered through monitoring networks, without asserting a particular effect on public decision-making.
Computer systems can shape what people do without taking over
It provides context about data infrastructure that may underlie algorithmic organization, but does not itself establish a governance effect.
What this means and why it matters
What this means
The author associates modern data mining with very large collections of data gathered through monitoring technologies.
Why it matters
The scale and sources of the data are relevant to concerns about how information is collected and used.
Conditions & assumptions
Source coverage: Full readable text of the author manuscript from an accessible mirror; not the version formatted by the publisher. The passage describes large datasets and monitoring networks as a distinctive feature of these systems. Addresses: The data used by the systems under discussion
