This book celebrates and mourns the increasing relevance of the 2008 volume of 'Profiling the European Citizen. Cross-Disciplinary Perspectives' (edited by Mireille Hildebrandt & Serge Gutwirth). Both volumes contain in-depth investigations by lawyers, philosophers and computer scientists into the legal, philosophical and computational background of the emerging algorithmic order. In BEING PROFILED:COGITAS ERGO SUM 23 scholars engage with the issues, underpinnings, operations and implications of micro-targeting, data-driven critical infrastructure, ethics-washing, p-hacking and democratic disruption. These issues have now become part of everyday life, reinforcing the urgency of the question: are we becoming what machines infer about us, or are we? This book has been designed as a work of art by Bob van Dijk, the hardcopy has been printed as a limited edition. The separate chapters (2000 word provocations) will become available in open access in 2019.
"Inscrutable decisions based on hidden correlations lacking in interpretation and explanation are ever more fateful in deciding our fates. What can be said about a prescient, clearly written, interdisciplinary book on a neglected topic by frontierswomen and men that offers fresh ideas and guidance? Buy it and learn from it!" - Gary T. Marx, author of Windows Into the Soul: Surveillance and Society in an Age of High Technology "Ten years after the multidisciplinary speculations of Profiling the European citizen the need and urgency of similar deep-digging, playful and thought-provoking considerations about the shapes and powers of profiling in contemporary societies remain at least as strong as they were then. With the collection of provocations of BEING PROFILED:COGITAS ERGO SUM the authors vividly keep us alert about the tangible and possible consequences of profiling when it meets the still increasing capacities of machine learning and yields numerous real-world applications. A must for readers that want to stay in control their selves." - Serge Gutwirth, Co-director of the Centre for Law, Science, Technology & Society at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel
