Highly recommended talk by Cathy O’Neil on weapons of math destruction. It’s not just algorithms but any other part of products which can be seen as coded opinions - either unintentionally or intentionally by following a vision. Design seems well suited for helping data science, as it can clarify intentions, and make sure what we create actually matches our intentions.
