Algorithmic Nudge
Don Donghee Shin · 2022
Chapter 3 analyzes the nudges in AI by focusing on the idea of algorithmic nudges. Nudge principles have been applied to algorithms, and more and more algorithms are used in nudging. While convenient and useful, these nudges raise a series of ethical concerns about privacy, information disclosure, manipulation, and tweaking. The chapter analyzes how to ensure algorithmic nudges are used in a constructive way and whether the nudge could also help to achieve a sustainable way of life. This chapter discusses the principles and dimensions of nudging effects of AI systems on user behavior, as well as how people can in turn nudge algorithmic systems to have human-centered results.
