Abstract

The essay covers the evolution of control techniques in the age of global datacenters and machine learning algorithms. Three cases studies of numerical governance (or algorithmic governance) are discussed: Compstat (a a crime record visualization system by the New York Police Department), SkyNet (a NSA classified program for analysis of communication networks), and Ayasdi (a techniques for topological data analysis sponsored by DARPA).
